This 5th installment of the Administrator's Roundtable will focus on the experiences of the new department chair. This leadership role in our academic hierarchy brings with it a host of unique challenges for the newcomer. Panelists will address several of these issues with brief presentations, followed by an extended question and answer session in the roundtable format. You are encouraged to bring your own observations and experiences for discussion. This panel is not only for administrators -- it is open to anyone interested in departmental leadership.
Moderator: Jeffrey Guterman, University of Pittsburgh At Bradford
Panelists: Jennifer Henderson, Trinity University; Fostering Working Relationships with Senior Faculty
