In this Office of Faculty Excellence workshop, we focus on the Candidate’s Statement portion required for Instructor and Lecturer promotion (see UNF-UFF CBA, Article 23). The first half of the workshop will entail discussions of effective candidate statements as well as reviewing sample statements from previous candidates to help future promotion candidates plan and craft their own. The second half of the workshop will be spent brainstorming attendees’ approaches to their candidate statements and addressing individual questions about candidate statements. This session is helpful for all NTT faculty, whether in their first year or as they apply for promotion in the next cycle.
