Spring is in sight
Here's to the snow being replaced by those April showers that… you know how the saying goes. We know we're at the beginning of a hectic time on campus, so we'll keep this brief. See below for some reminders and our upcoming programming, featuring promotion and tenure processes and Wayne State's new Office of Sexual Violence Prevention and Education (OSVPE). Enjoy Spring, and don't forget your umbrellas! Deadline to apply to the ALA: FridayDon't forget to apply for next year's Academic Leadership Academy (ALA) cohort by the end of the day, April 7. The Academic Leadership Academy was created to offer leadership development to full-time faculty and academic staff who often do not have the opportunity to engage in leadership training and mentoring before taking on formal or informal leadership roles. You're amazing, so you're probably already leading in some capacity in your role; come network with your peers and learn how to ramp it up.
