Teaching & Learning Innovation (TLI) hosts several events throughout the academic year to provide professional development opportunities for all University of Tennessee faculty.
April
Job Documents Collab Lab
Tuesday, April 7
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm | Student Union, Executive Dining Room (SU 377)
If you’re a graduate student or post-doctoral fellow who has been putting off writing or revising your job application materials, this drop-in clinic is for you. Grab your computer and join your peers in a quiet, collaborative environment to get cover letters, CVs, and other materials job-market ready. You can get expert suggestions from the Judith Anderson Herbert Writing Center, Career Services, and Teaching and Learning Innovation, or even give feedback to each other.
How to find the Executive Dining Room:
From the main entrance on Cumberland Avenue, take the elevators straight ahead on the left to the third floor. Exit straight out of the elevator, past the torch chandelier, and follow signage to the Big Orange Pantry and Smokey’s Closet on your left. The dining room is in the same hallway.
UT Mentoring Initiative
Wednesday, April 15
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm | International House
The Graduate School is launching a UT Mentoring Initiative this semester to build our research community and enhance mentoring. UT CIMER-trained facilitators will host a monthly series of workshops on mentoring best practices. We will have a series for faculty and a separate, but parallel series for postdocs and grad students. Since space is limited, early registration is recommended. Faculty registration is separate from postdoc and grad student registration. We encourage participation in the full, three-part monthly series.
