SUMMARY:NCFDD: An Equity-Minded Approach to Writing Effective External Review Letters for Tenure and Promotion
DESCRIPTION:Offered by the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD)\n \n \n Facilitator: Yael Niv, PhD, Laura Martin, PhD, & Rachel Ross, PhD\n \n \n Senior faculty are incredibly powerful. In a two-page tenure letter, they can make or break a career. This power has an outsized impact on scholars with marginalized identities, such as Black academics, who are promoted with tenure at lower rates than their white colleagues. We suggest that this difference in tenure rates is due to an implicit, overly narrow definition of academic excellence that does not recognize all contributions that Black scholars make to their departments, institutions and academia in general, as well as the many invisible extra burdens of mentoring and representation that these scholars bear. Our goal in this presentation is to empower you, as letter-writers, to counteract these factors and promote the academic culture we all want to support. Towards this end, and inspired by Tema Okun’s (2021) antidotes to “white supremacy culture” in academia, we propose to faculty with majority privilege a set of practical steps for writing inclusive, anti-racist tenure letters. Our recommendations address what to do before writing the letter, what to include (and not include) in the letter itself, and what to do after writing the letter to further support our excellent colleagues. Devised from the perspective of USA-based, mostly non-Black, mostly women academics in STEM fields who are learning about and working toward Black liberation in academia, we hope these recommendations, and their future refinement, can support widespread ongoing work toward an inclusive academia that appreciates and rewards diverse ways of doing, learning and knowing. \n \n Click here to register.\n \n If you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by\n clicking on the NCFDD website here (external link).\n Creating an account allows you to register for upcoming seminars or access past documents and recorded sessions.

During this workshop, participants will examine the results of the Know More Survey that was administered in 2022 and consider what this means for the climate of the University and within your own team. Using this and the University's strategic plans as the foundation for discussion, the workshop will introduce the Climate Assessment Toolkit, which helps leaders make meaning of the climate and culture among their team. The Toolkit provides practical skills and exercises to support leaders in creating positive environments, identifying concerns and challenges, reducing risk, and building healthy work and learning climates. The same content will be shared at both the in-person and virtual sessions.\n To register to attend one of these sessions\n click here.

SUMMARY:2023-2024 Creating and Sustaining a Respectful Work Environment Series: Navigating Conflict and Power Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\n \n \n Shannon Lynn Burton, University Ombudsperson\n Kathie Elliott, Senior Learning and Organization Development Specialist, Organization and Professional Development, MSU Human Resources\n \n Jade Richards\n , Dialogues Coordinator, Institutional Diversity and Inclusion\n \n Francisco Villarruel, Faculty\n\n Conflict is an inevitable part of human interactions, yet many of us try and avoid situations where conflict is present. Learning how to deal with conflict in healthy and productive ways is essential for personal growth, effective leadership, and creating positive change.  At the center of many conflicts are issues around power (both real and perceived) that can relate to work roles and identity factors such as gender and race. This workshop is designed to equip leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate conflict effectively, establish clear boundaries and expectations, and understand the various power dynamics that can influence the situation. Participants will learn practical skills for navigating conflict in a way that fosters team growth.\n \n \n \n REGISTER TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:AI in Academia: Teaching Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD)\n Facilitator:\n  Julia Shaffel\n \n \n At the end of November in 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a text-generating AI with never-before-seen capabilities of producing almost any type of text with the click of a button. Students immediately realized the potential of using it for their assignments, easily generating essays and code, while avoiding being caught by existing plagiarism detection software. Since then, an arms race has developed between AI users and those who try to detect and discourage its use.\n \n In this webinar, I explain why we owe it to our students to adjust our teaching practices in light of AI technology, and I present some practical suggestions for how to do so. We still need to teach our students how to write on their own, so we need to develop assignments that discourage the use of AI and teach basic writing skills. But we can also take advantage of these new technologies, develop new teaching strategies that rely on them, and teach our students how to employ them effectively and responsibly.\n Click here to register\n If you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by\n clicking to the NCFDD website here (external link).\n Creating an account allows you to register for upcoming seminars or access past documents and recorded sessions.

SUMMARY:Community Connection for Supervisors\, Managers\, and Executive Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Community Connection for Supervisors, Managers, and Executive Leaders\n \n The MSU University Health and Wellbeing Spartan Resilience Education Program invites all supervisors, managers, and executive leaders to join our\n Community Connection\n Session for Leaders.  This program acknowledges the one-year mark of the violence the MSU Community experienced on February 13, 2023.   While there is a wide range of responses to both the event and the anniversary it is important to acknowledge this solemn occasion in trauma informed ways. All supervisors, managers, and executive leaders are encouraged to join this session to best prepare for this upcoming anniversary, and to explore\n how to navigate trauma reminders and reactions, both yours and others, as they arise in the workplace.\n \n \n This  session will include a few moments of remembrance, followed by the opportunity for skill building to increase capacity to navigate trauma reminders and reactions.  \n \n \n Navigating Trauma Reminders and Reactions\n \n When we have lived through a trauma or traumatic grief event it is natural to have moments when something in our current experience reminds us of our past trauma.  In these moments of remembering we may powerfully re-experience the trauma in our physical bodies, emotions, thoughts, and reactions.  Understanding what is happening to you and having skills to help yourself move through these difficult moments, can help you regain your sense of balance and perspective.  \n While trauma reminders may continue to happen over time, we can build capacity to reduce the impact of these challenging moments when they occur.  We can also learn how to actively support others when they have a trauma reminder or are experiencing a trauma response.\n \n Learn about basic trauma responses.\n Understand the psychological process behind trauma reminders.\n Notice stress response activation and have a plan to help yourself through moments of trauma.\n Incorporate the Spartan Resilience 6-word framework for Resilience to provide you with scaffolding to move through tough moments.\n Increase capacity to name and process difficult emotions to allow yourself to heal and grow.\n \n \n Register for this session

SUMMARY:Developing Your NSF Project Summary
DESCRIPTION:The Project Summary is one of the most important parts of every NSF grant proposal. A clear and concise Project Summary will succinctly convey the scope, intellectual merit, and broader impacts of your project to make a positive first impression on reviewers and program officers. However, writing a strong Project Summary can be deceptively hard. With only a single page to work with, it can be difficult to decide which information to include and how to best frame that information for impact. This webinar will provide helpful information, advice, and resources for writing a compelling Project Summary page. Following the webinar, interested faculty are invited to send a draft of their Project Summary to\n ORI.editors@msu.edu for individual feedback to ensure that this document is compelling and clear.\n \n This webinar will be presented by Lauren Aerni-Flessner, Ph.D. and Sara Steenrod, Ph.D., Grant Consultants in MSU’s Office of Research & Innovation. They provide a variety of services, including individual and small group consultations, grant writing webinars, writing groups, and grant editing to help faculty develop competitive grant proposals for federal funding agencies. Please visit the\n Research Development and Proposal Services webpage for more information about how they can help you with your next grant proposal.\n \n  \n  \n \n REGISTER

SUMMARY:Exploring Academic Leadership &#8220\;Lunch Break&#8221\;
DESCRIPTION:Academic leadership is comprised of many different areas, building on a variety of skills and experiences.  This program series is for anyone interested in learning more about the unique aspects of leading in an academic environment. Faculty and academic staff in all appointment types are invited to attend.  Sessions focus on a range of topics, including discussions with current leaders about their work, explorations of different institutional functions and processes at MSU, and skill-building to develop your own leadership toolkit.\n This semester, we kick off the year with two sessions focused on elements related to process. The first will examine an institutional process, and the second will explore a process for participation.\n \n Fall 2024 Schedule\n \n \n The HLC wants to know what YOU know!\n \n Date: October 9, 2024\n Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM EST\n Location: In Person – MSU Library, Room W207 or Virtual Option – Zoom\n \n On Nov. 18 or 19, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), MSU’s university accrediting agency, will send a Peer Review team to campus to review our ten-year reaffirmation request.

Roberts, PhD\n \n \n \n \n Do you often feel drained by departmental drama?\n Do feel unclear how to handle conflicts that arise in your department?\n Are you unsure when, where, and how to manage conflict with people who will be voting on your tenure?\n \n Academics are notoriously conflict avoidant and the inability to manage conflict can result in negative physical, emotional, and relational consequences for tenure-track faculty. So why not learn early in your career to master the SKILL of healthy conflict so that you can effectively manage conflicts as they arise and avoid carrying around all of the negative energy, anger, and resentment in your mind and body. In this webinar, you will learn:\n \n How conflict-management is an essential part of thriving in the Academy.\n How to decide when to push back and when to pull back in the face of conflict.\n The difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict.\n How to get clear about the role that power plays in resolving departmental conflicts.\n Ten tips for engaging in healthy conflict\n \n \n \n \n \n Register to attend\n \n \n  \n If you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by\n clicking on the NCFDD website here (external link).\n Creating an account allows you to register for upcoming seminars or access past documents and recorded sessions.

SUMMARY:Creating and Sustaining a Respectful Work Environment Series &#8211\; Setting the Tone: An Introduction to Changing Climate &#038\; Culture
DESCRIPTION:This series of workshops is intended for leaders (executive managers, deans, directors, chairs, and supervisors, level 12-17) from across the University to work together to improve the current climate and culture in their units and across the greater campus community.\n This series is a collaboration between the Office of Faculty and Academic Staff Development, the Office of Faculty and Academic Staff Affairs, Human Resources, the Office for Civil Rights and Title IX Education and Compliance, and the Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives.\n \n Setting the Tone: An Introduction to Changing Climate & Culture\n \n Lydia Weiss, Assistant Director, Climate & Response Unit, Prevention, Outreach and Education Department\n Carrie Moylan, Associate Professor, School of Social Work, College of Social Science and Advisor to the President and Co-chair, MSU RVSM Expert Advisory Workgroup\n Stephanie Anthony, Director, College Access Initiatives, Office of University Outreach and Engagement and Advisor to the President and Co-chair, MSU RVSM Expert Advisory Workgroup\n IN-PERSON Wednesday, October 29, 2024 from 9:00-11:00, MSU Main Library - Room W207\n \n\n As leaders in a complex organization, we are often left wondering how we take big-picture ideas like University-level strategic plans and funnel them into our own units. During this workshop, participants will examine the results of the Know More Survey that was administered in 2022 and consider what this means for the climate of the University and within your own team. Using this and the University's strategic plans as the foundation for discussion, the workshop will introduce the Climate Assessment Toolkit, which helps leaders make meaning of the climate and culture among their team. The Toolkit provides practical skills and exercises to support leaders in creating positive environments, identifying concerns and challenges, reducing risk, and building healthy work and learning climates. The same content will be shared at both the in-person and virtual sessions.\n \n  REGISTER TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:Tips for Writing a Compelling NSF Project Summary
DESCRIPTION:The Project Summary is one of the most important parts of every NSF grant proposal. A clear and concise Project Summary will succinctly convey the scope, intellectual merit, and broader impacts of your project to make a positive first impression on reviewers and program officers. However, writing a strong Project Summary can be deceptively hard. With only a single page to work with, it can be difficult to decide which information to include and how to best frame that information for impact. This webinar will provide helpful information, advice, and resources for writing a compelling Project Summary page. Following the webinar, interested faculty are invited to send a draft of their Project Summary to\n ORI.editors@msu.edu for individual feedback to ensure that this document is compelling and clear.\n \n This webinar will be presented by Lauren Aerni-Flessner, Ph.D. and Sara Steenrod, Ph.D., Grant Consultants in MSU’s Office of Research & Innovation.

SUMMARY:Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership Roundtable: Navigating the Annual Review Process
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the annual review process in this roundtable discussion. Hosted by\n\n 	Sonja Fritzsche, Associate Dean of Academic Personnel and Administration in the College of Arts and Letters;\n 	Delia Fernández-Jones, Associate Dean for Equity, Justice, and Faculty Affairs for the College of Arts & Letters; and\n 	Scott Schopieray, Assistant Dean for Academic Technology and Scholarly Engagement, MSU College of Arts & Letters.\n\nThis workshop focuses on applying the Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership approach to annual review. In US higher education today, there is often a misalignment between work that is most meaningful to faculty and the work that is incentivized and rewarded.  The Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership (CPIL) initiative is designed to be a course correction for university culture, transforming the ways that academic work is valued by shifting focus from teaching, research, service to the high impact human-centered\nends toward which these activities are directed: sharing knowledge, expanding opportunity, mentorship and stewardship.\n\nThis initiative empowers higher education to recognize and reward a wider diversity of activities as valuable work aligned with the individual values of faculty and the core values of institutions. Following the HuMetrics approach, alternate metrics adopted by respective scholarly communities of practice establish the impact and excellence of this rigorous academic work. As such the CPIL initiative is a framework, and a structured process of evaluation designed to recognize the work of all members of the academic community as integral to the university’s vital mission.

SUMMARY:The Path to Promotion 2.0 Series for Academic Specialists: The Meaning of Promotion
DESCRIPTION:The Path to Promotion 2.0\n A Learning Community for Academic Specialists\n ​This learning community builds upon the Path to Promotion webinar and workshop series from spring 2024. In it, specialists from MSU across functional areas will gather to study the reappointment, award of continuing status, and promotion processes in the academic specialist appointment system. Across five one-hour in-person discussions, we will consider the components of a successful dossier and the timeline and workflow of the review year. We will focus on strategies for preparing for a successful review, from a specialist’s arrival on campus to submission of the dossier.\n Participants should view or review the corresponding Path to Promotion webinar recording from Spring 2024 prior to attending each conversation. Each webinar recording suggested some tasks to complete and concluded with a list of resources to review. The purpose of the in-person discussions is to debrief and problem-solve the experience of specialists who are working on those follow-up activities as they progress toward promotion or related actions. These meetings will not include substantial exposition on the topics covered in each webinar, to ensure plenty of time for discussion and questions. The goal is to provide mentoring to specialists, by specialists, in a group context.\n In addition to those working toward promotion or a related action, we strongly encourage those who have recently pursued those actions to participate and share the resource of your experience with our community. Your leadership and service to the institution are needed!\n Upcoming Sessions:\n Date: November 13, 2024\n Time: 3:30 - 4:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: The Meaning of Promotion\n \n Date: December 12, 2024\n Time: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: Compiling Evidence for Promotion\n \n Date: January 17, 2025\n Time: 3:30 - 4:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: The Review Process\n \n Date: February 10, 2025\n Time: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: The Promotion Dossier\n \n Date: March 11, 2025\n Time: 3:30 - 4:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: Using Evidence to Make Your Case\n \n \n Click here to register to attend one or more of these sessions

DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\n \n \n Shannon Lynn Burton, University Ombudsperson\n Kathie Elliott, Senior Learning and Organization Development Specialist, Organization and Professional Development, MSU Human Resources\n \n Jade Richards\n , Dialogues Coordinator, Institutional Diversity and Inclusion\n \n Francisco Villarruel, Faculty Grievance Official\n\n Conflict is an inevitable part of human interactions, yet many of us try and avoid situations where conflict is present. Learning how to deal with conflict in healthy and productive ways is essential for personal growth, effective leadership, and creating positive change. At the center of many conflicts are issues around power (both real and perceived) that can relate to work roles and identity factors such as gender and race. This workshop is designed to equip leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate conflict effectively, establish clear boundaries and expectations, and understand the various power dynamics that can influence the situation. Participants will learn practical skills for navigating conflict in a way that fosters team growth. When registering for the event, participants will be prompted to provide answers to a few questions that will guide the content presented at the session.\n \n \n \n \n REGISTER TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:The Path to Promotion 2.0 Series for Academic Specialists: Compiling Evidence for Promotion
DESCRIPTION:The Path to Promotion 2.0\n A Learning Community for Academic Specialists\n ​This learning community builds upon the Path to Promotion webinar and workshop series from spring 2024. In it, specialists from around MSU across functional areas will gather to study the reappointment, award of continuing status, and promotion processes in the academic specialist appointment system.

SUMMARY:NIH Renewals and Resubmissions
DESCRIPTION:Working on an R01 resubmission or renewal? Or, are you interested in learning about NIH renewals and resubmissions?\n Renewing an R01 requires consideration of many details, such as productivity, projected budget, and research trajectory. This webinar will walk you through understanding the decision processes and techniques to write a competitive renewal, including decision trees, writing the Progress Report, and other elements of NIH Type 2 submissions. \n Because most proposals are more likely to succeed on resubmission than initial submission, this webinar also discusses how to respond to reviews and how to decide whether to resubmit a declined R01. The webinar will also cover techniques for identifying key reviewer comments and crafting effective responses, as well as strategies for connecting proposal elements to tell your story in a cohesive way. \n Expected outcomes include:\n \n Understanding the decision processes and techniques to write a competitive renewal\n Ability to connect proposal elements to tell your story in a cohesive way\n The decision processes for determining whether to resubmit a declined R01\n Techniques for identifying key reviewer comments and crafting effective responses \n \n This virtual workshop is presented by Dr. M.S. (Peg) AtKisson of\n AtKisson Training Group.\n  The registration fee for this event is $50, which includes the cost of a workbook, the Handbook for Planning and Writing Successful Proposals, to compliment and extend on the content presented in the webinar.

We'll be live on Zoom to write together in community and reflect on how the session went. Professor Carlita Favero (Ursinus College) will provide a brief introduction, we'll write for 30 minutes, and we'll close out with reflections. Maybe you're asking, what counts as writing? Well, if the pen is moving on the page (or your fingers are on the keyboard), then you’re writing. Drafting a manuscript "counts,” but so does freewriting, generating field notes, editing and revising, outlining, mind-mapping, describing a new idea, preparing a bibliography, consolidating reviewers' comments into a list for revision, etc. In other words, anything that helps move a manuscript out the door "counts” as writing. Expanding your notion of what writing is will help you to reduce your resistance by making daily writing feel like a regular part of your everyday routine.\n We'll see you on Zoom!\n  \n If you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by\n clicking on the NCFDD website here (external link).\n Creating an account allows you to register for upcoming seminars or access past documents and recorded sessions.

SUMMARY:Live on Zoom: Reclaiming Our Time: AI in Academia: Productivity
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD)\n Facilitator:\n  Nicole West, PhD, Majorie Shavers, PhD, Zimena Uribe-Zarain PhD and Sharnnia Artis\n \n \n\n Academia often demands more from faculty of color, especially women. Service duties like mentoring, advising, and supporting marginalized students and filling diversity quotas on committees leaves less time to focus on aspects of the job that are most heavily weighted in our evaluations. This unsustainable pace often compromises our productivity, creativity, efficacy, and ability to engage in self-care. This presentation, best suited for individuals with little or no familiarity with artificial intelligence (AI), offers strategies for reclaiming our time by harnessing the power of AI. Together we will explore practical uses for leveraging AI to optimize our research and teaching.\n Click here for more information.\n If you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by\n clicking to the NCFDD website here (external link).\n Creating an account allows you to register for upcoming seminars or access past documents and recorded sessions.

SUMMARY:The Path to Promotion 2.0 Series for Academic Specialists: The Promotion Dossier
DESCRIPTION:The Path to Promotion 2.0\n A Learning Community for Academic Specialists\n ​This learning community builds upon the Path to Promotion webinar and workshop series from spring 2024. In it, specialists from MSU across functional areas will gather to study the reappointment, award of continuing status, and promotion processes in the academic specialist appointment system. Across five one-hour in-person discussions, we will consider the components of a successful dossier and the timeline and workflow of the review year. We will focus on strategies for preparing for a successful review, from a specialist’s arrival on campus to submission of the dossier.\n Participants should view or review the corresponding Path to Promotion webinar recording from Spring 2024 prior to attending each conversation. Each webinar recording suggested some tasks to complete and concluded with a list of resources to review. The purpose of the in-person discussions is to debrief and problem-solve the experience of specialists who are working on those follow-up activities as they progress toward promotion or related actions. These meetings will not include substantial exposition on the topics covered in each webinar, to ensure plenty of time for discussion and questions. The goal is to provide mentoring to specialists, by specialists, in a group context.\n In addition to those working toward promotion or a related action, we strongly encourage those who have recently pursued those actions to participate and share the resource of your experience with our community. Your leadership and service to the institution are needed!\n Upcoming Sessions:\n Date: February 10, 2025\n Time: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: The Promotion Dossier\n \n Date: March 11, 2025\n Time: 3:30 - 4:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: Using Evidence to Make Your Case\n \n \n Click here to register to attend one or more of these sessions

DESCRIPTION:Presented by the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD)\n Facilitator:\n  Tasha Souza, PhD\n \n \n \n **Please join us on Zoom for this presentation**\n \n \n Join Zoom Meeting\n \n Meeting ID: 893 9173 4341\n Passcode: 085260\n Faculty receive little guidance and preparation for stepping into leadership roles.

SUMMARY:The Path to Promotion 2.0 Series for Academic Specialists: Using Evidence to Make Your Case
DESCRIPTION:The Path to Promotion 2.0\n A Learning Community for Academic Specialists\n ​This learning community builds upon the Path to Promotion webinar and workshop series from spring 2024. In it, specialists from MSU across functional areas will gather to study the reappointment, award of continuing status, and promotion processes in the academic specialist appointment system. Across five one-hour in-person discussions, we will consider the components of a successful dossier and the timeline and workflow of the review year. We will focus on strategies for preparing for a successful review, from a specialist’s arrival on campus to submission of the dossier.\n Participants should view or review the corresponding Path to Promotion webinar recording from Spring 2024 prior to attending each conversation. Each webinar recording suggested some tasks to complete and concluded with a list of resources to review. The purpose of the in-person discussions is to debrief and problem-solve the experience of specialists who are working on those follow-up activities as they progress toward promotion or related actions. These meetings will not include substantial exposition on the topics covered in each webinar, to ensure plenty of time for discussion and questions. The goal is to provide mentoring to specialists, by specialists, in a group context.\n In addition to those working toward promotion or a related action, we strongly encourage those who have recently pursued those actions to participate and share the resource of your experience with our community. Your leadership and service to the institution are needed!\n Upcoming Sessions:\n Date: March 11, 2025\n Time: 3:30 - 4:30 PM EST\n Location: Main Library, Room W207\n Topic: Using Evidence to Make Your Case\n \n \n Click here to register to attend this session

SUMMARY:Deepening Community-Campus Partnerships Through Critical Reflection on Partnership Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Participants in this interactive webinar will learn about and use parts of the hot-off-the-presses Transformational Relationship Evaluation Scale (TRES) III Reflection Framework, which supports community-campus partners in examining dynamics of their partnership (e.g., power sharing, decision-making), identifying and prioritizing desired enhancements that result, and generating actionable learning to improve partnership practice accordingly. Research (Kniffin et al., 2023) documents that partners who have used the framework have an enhanced commitment to and clarity around partnerships; collaborators have brought in new partners, improved communications, and set goals for refining their work. TRES is applicable across the range of community-campus partnership activities (e.g., community-engaged learning and research, extension projects, institutional assessment).\n Bringing partners together for critical reflection on their partnerships is important in nurturing the co-creative relationships and processes that undergird transformative collaborative and meaningful change. Facilitators will provide an overview of the conceptual frameworks underlying TRES, walk participants through the framework, and summarize evidence of its impact on partnerships (reviewing data from research on an earlier version of the tool). Participants will then use excerpts from the framework and debrief that experience – co-generating possibilities and challenges for using it across multiple contexts. \n \n Please feel free to invite members of the broader community with whom you partner. \n \n \n \n Click here to register\n \n \n Facilitators\n \n Robert G.

SUMMARY:Deepening Community-Campus Partnerships Through Critical Reflection on Partnership Dynamics (Session 2)
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION: FACULTY, ACADEMIC STAFF, AND GRADUATE STUDENTS\nSeptember 11, 2025\n\n10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Location TBD\n\nAt the heart of impactful community-engaged scholarship lie strong, trusting, and mutually beneficial partnerships between communities and academic institutions. Yet, amid the demands of daily work, we often miss the opportunity to pause, reflect on the health of these relationships, and act on what we learn.\n\nThe Center for Community Engaged Learning and the Office for Public Engagement and Scholarship are hosting an all-day workshop led by the developers of the Transformational Relationship Evaluation Scale (TRES) III Reflection Framework.\n\nThe TRES III Reflection Framework is designed to support community-campus partners in exploring critical aspects of their collaboration, such as power dynamics and shared decision-making, while assisting partners in identifying areas for growth and generating actionable insights to strengthen their work together.\n\nResearch (Kniffin et al., 2023) documents that partners who have used the framework have an enhanced commitment to and clarity around partnerships; collaborators have brought in new partners, improved communications, and set goals for refining their work. TRES is applicable across the range of community-campus partnership activities (e.g., community-engaged learning and research, extension projects, institutional assessment).\n\nThis workshop is an opportunity to come together with partners to engage in meaningful reflection, nurture co-creative relationships, and build the foundations for transformative and sustainable change. Facilitators will introduce the conceptual underpinnings of the TRES framework, guide participants through its application, and share evidence of its impact.\n\nIf you are interested in participating in the TRES III workshop on September 11, 2025 or would like to learn more about it, please complete this short interest formExternal link - opens in new window by July 18, 2025.\n\nA recording of an introductory workshop on the TRES III Reflection Framework is available for viewingExternal link - opens in new window.

Participants will develop effective strategies for strategically addressing and minimizing negative consequences. The workshop will introduce the Climate Assessment Toolkit, which helps leaders make meaning of the climate and culture among their team. The Toolkit provides practical skills and exercises to support leaders in creating positive environments, identifying concerns and challenges, reducing risk, and building healthy work and learning climates.\n\n REGISTER TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:Tips for Writing a Compelling NSF Project Summary
DESCRIPTION:The Project Summary is one of the most important parts of every NSF grant proposal. A clear and concise Project Summary will succinctly convey the scope, intellectual merit, and broader impacts of your project to make a positive first impression on reviewers and program officers. However, writing a strong Project Summary can be deceptively hard. With only a single page to work with, it can be difficult to decide which information to include and how to best frame that information for impact. This webinar will provide helpful information, advice, and resources for writing a compelling Project Summary page.\n\nThis webinar will be presented by Lauren Aerni-Flessner, Ph.D. and Sara Steenrod, Ph.D., Research Development Specialists in MSU’s Office of Research & Innovation. They provide a variety of services, including individual and small group consultations, grant writing webinars, writing groups, and grant editing to help faculty develop competitive grant proposals for federal funding agencies.

SUMMARY:Creating and Sustaining a Respectful Work Environment Series: Navigating Conflict and Power Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\n\nShannon Lynn Burton, University Ombudsperson\nKathie Elliott, Senior Learning and Organization Development Specialist, Organization and Professional Development, MSU Human Resources\nJade Richards, Dialogues Coordinator, Institutional Diversity and Inclusion\nFrancisco Villarruel, Faculty Grievance Official\n\nConflict is an inevitable part of human interactions, yet many of us try and avoid situations where conflict is present. Learning how to deal with conflict in healthy and productive ways is essential for personal growth, effective leadership, and creating positive change. At the center of many conflicts are issues around power (both real and perceived) that can relate to work roles and identity factors such as gender and race. This workshop is designed to equip leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate conflict effectively, establish clear boundaries and expectations, and understand the various power dynamics that can influence the situation. Participants will learn practical skills for navigating conflict in a way that fosters team growth. When registering for the event, participants will be prompted to provide answers to a few questions that will guide the content presented at the session.\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER TO ATTEND

SUMMARY:NCFDD Virtual Writing Session
DESCRIPTION:Offered by the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD)\n\n**Please join us on Zoom for this presentation**\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nJoin us for your daily writing session! We will provide a brief introduction, we'll write for 30 minutes, and we'll close out with reflections. What counts as writing? Drafting a manuscript "counts,” but so does freewriting, generating field notes, editing and revising, outlining, mind-mapping, describing a new idea, preparing a bibliography, consolidating reviewers' comments into a list for revision, etc. Expanding your notion of what writing is will help you to reduce your resistance by making daily writing feel like a regular part of your everyday routine.\n\nRegister to Attend\n\nIf you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by clicking on the NCFDD website here (external link).

This program series is for anyone interested in learning more about the unique aspects of leading in an academic environment. Faculty and academic staff in all appointment types are invited to attend. Sessions focus on a range of topics, including discussions with current leaders about their work, explorations of different institutional functions and processes at MSU, and skill-building to develop your own leadership toolkit.\nNavigating Group Dynamics in Academic Leadership\nDate/Time: Monday, March 23, 2026 from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EST\nLocation: W207 Library and Zoom\n\nPresenters:\nShannon Lynn Burton, University Ombudsperson\nRyan Smith, Assistant University Ombudsperson\n\nAcademic leaders routinely navigate complex group dynamics shaped by power, identity, disciplinary culture, and competing institutional pressures.

Participants will deepen their understanding of how conflict emerges and escalates in group settings, including the impact of hierarchy and institutional structures on decision-making and belonging. Grounded in conflict theory and practical leadership strategies, this session will provide tools for identifying early signs of group discord, interrupting unproductive dynamics, and intentionally fostering environments that support constructive dialogue and shared accountability.\nREGISTER TO ATTEND\n\nThe Joy Project - Finding the Joy in Leadership\nDate/Time: Tuesday, April 7, 2026, from 12:00 - 1:30 PM EST\nLocation: W207 Library and Zoom\n\nPresenter:\nSarah Prior, Director, Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars Program, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Associate Professor, Sociology, College of Social Science\n\nThis conversation will focus on the importance of creating and maintaining environments that foster joy within our spaces.

Participants will leave with practical tools to align recognition efforts with institutional values, foster career-advancing opportunities, and build structures that sustain faculty engagement over time.\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\nIf you have not yet, please register with your NetID for an account linked to our MSU institutional membership by clicking on the NCFDD website here (external link).
