Program Highlights

Welcome to the 2025 Professional Track Faculty (PTK) Symposium!

Mark your calendars! The 2025 PTK Symposium is a two-day event taking place on March 6th and 7th, 2025. This year, we’re excited to offer a blend of virtual and in-person programming, guided by the themes of promotion and community.

What to Expect:

Plenary Sessions: Hear from expert speakers as they explore topics relevant to all members of the UMD community, including the evolving relationship between higher education and the Department of Education, and the impact of today’s political landscape on our academic spaces.
Breakout Sessions: Attend a range of sessions occurring both in-person and virtually presented by fellow professional track faculty.
Mentoring and Networking Sessions: Get to know other members of the UMD Community during in-person networking sessions. Get to know the faculty from a range of departments, and learn from your colleagues in mentoring sessions.

While the symposium is an annual event that highlights the contributions and priorities of professional track faculty, we warmly welcome all members of the UMD Community.
