Podcasts about faculty recruitment

The J.R. Simplot Family Foundation has made a significant gift to establish University of Idaho's first endowed deanship.

This episode dives into the critical conversation of cultivating faculty diversity, an action that benefits not just underrepresented populations but rather the entire campus community. Two distinguished Provosts, Tarshia Stanley of Wagner College and Leanne Neilson of California Lutheran University, will share their challenges, successes, and innovative approaches to recruiting and retaining faculty that better mirror their student demographics.

Renuka Iyer, MD, is a Professor of Oncology, Section Chief for Gastrointestinal Oncology and Co-Leader of Liver and Pancreas Tumor program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University at Buffalo. She is also the Vice Chair of Faculty Recruitment and Retention in the Department of Medicine. She is a world renowned authority on Neuroendocrine Tumors. She was recently awarded the Mark R. Clements Award, for Vision Innovation and Collaboration from the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. “If it's in my power to make something happen and I don't, then I've failed them.” Having found her own path with the help of mentors that encouraged her, Dr. Renuka Iyer shares challenges and hurdles that helped make her into the mentor, professor, and researcher she is today. Tune in to this special episode of The Medicine Mentors at ASCO 2023 as we learn from Dr. Iyer how to be better mentees and people by working hard and keeping our word, why studying woodchucks helped her understand that challenges are opportunities for exploration and discovery, and how mentorship can be a lifelong continuum of support. Pearls of Wisdom:   1. Try not to pigeonhole the idea of a mentor. You can find mentorship from anyone as long as they care about your future and want to help; stay open to diverse forms of mentorship.  2. When you run into a wall, don't be quick to give up. Work around obstacles and reach out to find new answers. As Dr. Iyer says, “necessity can be the mother of invention.”  3. Not only does a good mentee respect their mentor's time, but they recognize the value of vulnerability. Sharing your insecurities and fears with a mentor means you're asking for help and growing. The other part of that is following through with agreements and tasks. 3. Find a balance between work and your own life. Find a support system that allows you to feel good about work and nourished at home. Your job is to care for others but that requires taking care of yourself first.

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:   The effects of COVID on recruitment and retention in higher education.    What can and should institutions do to prioritize diversity?  What can be done at a departmental level to tackle isolation and tokenism among young minority professors?  Thoughts on the lack of clarity in tenure, promotion, and annual review guidelines.  The role of leaders in achieving equity and diversity. QUOTABLES:   “There are going to be faculty and heads who may not like being in a position of authority and being asked to rethink or redo something. But I do think if leaders want responsibility and want to bring about change,  if they want transformation of institutions, that is critical.” PRODUCTS / RESOURCES:   Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: https://diverseeducation.com/   Or follow us on social media:    Twitter: https://twitter.com/diverseissues   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation/   Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/DiverseJobs?_rdc=1&_rdr   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education/ In The Margins is produced by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education and edited by Instapodcasts (visit at www.instapodcasts.com)

BLURB: Recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty has been a long-standing challenge for many higher education institutions. How do we assess hiring policies and practices? How important is implicit bias training? What can we do to prevent toxic work environments? With COVID-19 making the climate much more difficult to navigate, we are now faced with an onset of new recruitment and retention issues to tackle on top of pre-existing ones. Tune into this panel discussion which took place in January during the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) 2021 Annual Meeting with Diverse moderator Jamal Watson and higher ed leaders from around the country as they discuss specific guidelines and strategies to help ensure that institutions continue and improve diversity recruitment efforts for faculty.   KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS: How can higher education institutions be more creative in recruiting a diverse applicant pool?  Thoughts on retaining graduate students in higher education institutions.  The importance of assessing and understanding the cultures within our institutions to ensure retention.  How do we tackle toxic environments in higher education institutions?  How do we recruit and retain faculty of color?  Specific things we can do to help faculty hiring committees.  How can we be transparent with junior underrepresented minority faculties doing DEI-related service about promotions?   QUOTABLES: “The goal is where you're cultivating those people to be familiar with you to even consider your discipline. And we have to do that work and that investment, and then pay it forward in our fields, rather than complaining about the small pool.”  “It's our job in graduate school to introduce our students and faculty to the pathways beyond the professoriate and give them the essential tools to be successful, and not to shame people when they don't want to go the faculty pathway.” “There is no one size fits all. And so when I think about retention, we have to think more about the context of our individual institutions and our departments and our schools. Because when we don't do that, we might try to implement something at a small single-sex institution that Michigan State did.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: https://diverseeducation.com/ Or follow us on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/DiverseJobs?_rdc=1&_rdr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education/ In The Margins is produced by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education and edited by Instapodcasts (visit at www.instapodcasts.com)
