New and Not-So-New Faculty Network

I am the founder and co-organizer (with Susan Baglieri) of the New and Not-So-New Faculty Network, an interdisciplinary group of junior and senior faculty who meet twice every semester. Each of these meetings features a faculty member who has volunteered to give a presentation or lead a discussion on a topic that helps other faculty in our pursuit of scholarship, teaching, or service. It is a time to learn about our campus community, and share lunch, stories, and tips for thriving at LIU.

We started with fifteen newly hired faculty in September 2003 and now have more than one hundred junior and senior faculty members. Below is a list of upcoming and past events.

If you are a faculty member on the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University, please e-mail me at sophia [dot] wong [at] liu [dot] edu  to join our network and our listserve, which we use to post general questions and answers, to publicize upcoming events of interest, and to announce our meetings.
