The University Sabbatical Review Committee invites you for a virtual,
two-hour workshop on preparing a successful sabbatical application.
Please join us on May 18, from 10 am - Noon. The first hour of this
workshop will include information about the sabbatical review process
as well as tips for writing a successful proposal, with Q&A.
During the second hour, participants will be able to get direct
feedback from committee members that will move their sabbatical
proposal writing forward.
This interactive presentation will
explore how to prepare a successful sabbatical application, including
pre-planning, writing to address the University criteria, developing
effective objectives, and creating a realistic work plan. Most
importantly, participants will learn what makes a proposal strong or
weak in the eyes of the reviewers.
In order to provide additional
options, the May 18 workshop will be recorded and made available for
sabbatical candidates as a prerequisite for two
Q & A
sessions, one on June 7 and another on June 16.
Who Should Attend:
- Faculty who will be submitting an application on September 1
- Unit-heads in departments that will have faculty applying
- Faculty members who are two or three years away from their sabbatical and plan on seeking a fellowship (Fulbright, Wilson, ACLS, DAAD, Peace Corps Response) or sponsorship as a Visiting Scholar at a National/International Lab or embedded position within an industry
Participants Will Be Able To:
- Hear directly from colleagues who review sabbatical applications
- Pitch your sabbatical ideas to committee members to get immediate feedback
- Request pre-reads and feedback from committee members prior to the September 1st deadline. *Note: the deadline for pre-read requests is July 15, 2022*
- Understand the potential compliance concerns (IRB, Animal, Export Controls, Intellectual Property) associated with many sabbatical applications
The two-hour May 18 workshop is fully synchronous. June sessions (1 hour) will have a pre-recorded information video and synchronous sessions for Q&A. Be sure to register separately for the June sessions in Sprout so we can send you the video with the pre-recorded information.
Hoping to see you there!
