Mark your calendar for AATSEEL workshop!

[Laura Janda]

Dear Colleagues,
        There will be a pre-conference workshop for everyone at the
AATSEEL meeting in NYC in December. It is entitled "Skills and Standards
of the Profession", and will be devoted to various tasks we face in our
profession: preparing a job portfolio, interviewing, getting work
accepted, getting promoted, and getting grants. This workshop will be held
on the first day of the conference, December 28, from 8-10 am. A truly
amazing lineup of participants has agreed to share their expertise with us
(see the list below!). I would like to urge everyone to attend, and to
encourage colleagues and graduate students to join us. Though it may seem
that the most immediate benefits are for our junior faculty and graduate
students, I think it is important for all of us to participate in this
discussion, since those of us further along in our careers also have a
repsonsibility to assist in the mentoring of our younger scholars. We all
have a stake in our future, and I see this as an opportunity to contribute
to the well-being of our profession.
        I will look forward to seeing everyone there!
        Best wishes,
        --laura janda
