Chairs Pre-Conference Workshop with Margaret Vitullo of the ASA-- Thursday Mar 22 | 7:30 AM-11:45 AM | Bel Aire North Organizer: Margaret Vitullo, ASA Chair: Margaret Vitullo, ASA This workshop has three key goals: to update sociology department chairs on national trends in higher education and sociology that impact their departments; to give participants the opportunity to gather a range of creative solutions to a specific problem in their own department from department chairs in similar institutions; and finally, to help chairs reconnect to the personally satisfying aspects of being a department leader. Prior to coming to the workshop, department chairs are encouraged to create a list of the 3-4 most pressing challenges in their departments, and among those, identify the top issue they wish to address during the workshop. Please send your challenges and issues to Margaret Vitullo ([email protected]) by February 15. Thursday 12:00 PM-1:30 PM 2.
