Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Hiring the right faculty members is one of the most important decisions a department chair can make. But most chairs merely conduct searches the way people at their institutions always have.

Recently, has shared governance merely become a catchphrase that has radically different meanings to different people? This interactive workshop will provide attendees with the tools to fully understand the roles and responsibilities that both faculty and administrators must play to foster a shared governance on their campus.

Valuing The Student Voice: Understanding And Responding To Student Concerns, Craig D. Hlavac, Sarah E. Gossman
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Many higher education institutions unintentionally make it challenging for students to raise concerns. Students often feel intimidated by faculty and administrators, yet most grievance processes require students to take the initiative to voice a concern.

To alleviate the stress of students, alternative perspectives must be considered. This session will provide participants with practical strategies for developing processes that respect the student voice and encourage students to bring forward their concerns. Group discussions and scenario-based breakout sessions will be included.
