DESCRIPTION:Would you like to carve out time to authentically reflect on the important work you do\, the areas in which you would like to grow\, the valuable peer and student feedback you have received\, and how you would like to focus your professional energy going forward?   \n\n\n\nJoin us for a multi-week virtual workshop designed to support faculty members preparing for a contract renewal\, tenure/promotion\, or promotion to full personnel action in 2026-27 AY.  Through large group meetings and optional small group and individual meetings with expert faculty mentors\, participants will be encouraged to compose their Personal/Reflective Statement and gather supporting materials for their portfolio in accordance with their college and unit personnel policies.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop format is as follows\:\n\n\n\n\n\n	Monday - Virtual Large Group Meetings (5/4\, 5/11\, 5/18\, *5/26\, 6/1)\, 1-3pm\n\n	\n\n		*Due to the Memorial Day holiday\, the large group meeting for the fourth week of the workshop will be held on Tuesday\, May 26th.\n\n	\n\n	\n\n	Mid-Week - Virtual or In-Person Individual Meetings with Assigned Mentor\, Time TBD\n\n	End-of-Week - Virtual or In-Person Small Group Meetings with Colleagues and Mentor\, Time TBD\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW THIS YEAR\, we are offering two levels (see below) of engagement in the workshop.  Please indicate your interest when you register.\n\n\n\nLEVEL ONE is for faculty who would like feedback on their writing from a small group of colleagues and an individual faculty mentor in addition to attending weekly large group meetings.  We have limited availability for Level One.  Please hold off on registering for Level One if you do not have an action in 2026-27 AY or if you have already taken the workshop in the last two years.  We would like to maximize availability for faculty with more immediate needs and we have limited capacity.  Please consider adding yourself to the wait list in the event of a participant cancellation or the addition of another faculty mentor.  Participants who register for Level One participation are expected to\:\n\n\n\n\n\n	Devote 4 hours every week for meetings with the large group\, small group\, and assigned mentor (TBD).\n\n	Review resource materials.\n\n	Set aside 5-6 hours per week to compose and submit drafts for feedback\, offer peer feedback to a small group of colleagues\, and compile evidence for your portfolio\, likely culminating in a complete working draft of the Personal/Reflective Statement by the end of the workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\nLEVEL TWO is for faculty who would like to attend only the large group meetings in which they may receive general guidance on portfolio construction\, including reflection exercises to help generate and organize ideas.  Although level two participants will not meet with a small group or individual mentor\, they will be able to ask the facilitators of the Personnel Portfolio Workshop toward the end of each large group meeting.  Anyone is welcome to register for Level Two.  Participants registered for Level Two participation are expected to\:\n\n\n\n\n\n	Devote 2 hours every week to actively participate in large group meetings.  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Emily Frigo (frigoe@gvsu.edu) or Whitt Kilburn (kilburnw@gvsu.edu).   \n\n\n\nRegister by Wednesday\, April 29\, 2026. Spots are limited so register today!
