With support from the WVU Office of the Provost, two Eberly College of Arts and Sciences faculty members will be launching the University’s first-ever virtual conference focused specifically on the experiences of non-tenure track faculty.

“Hills and Hollers: The Challenges and Kinship of Academic Life off the Tenure Track,” June 29-30, 2023. 

This virtual conference aims to facilitate connections among non-tenure track faculty, promote best practices, identify areas of concern, and provide guidelines for improving work cultures. The two-day event will include panel discussions, roundtables, networking sessions, and a keynote presentation by Adrianna Kezar, a national expert on change, governance and leadership in higher education.

Interested participants from WVU are encouraged to register by the priority deadline of June 15 for a fee of $25; students from any institution can register for only $15. General priority registration before June 15 will pay $30. Participants registering after June 15 will pay $40.
