PTK Symposium 2026 Save the Date

SAVE THE DATE: 

Thursday, March 5, 2026

Professional track (PTK) and other non-tenure-track faculty members are integral to the institution’s teaching, research, and service missions, making significant contributions to its continued growth and success. The PTK faculty, in collaboration with the Office of Faculty Affairs, will host the eighth annual symposium to celebrate PTK faculty achievements, highlight opportunities, and share information for success. The seminar will be held in person on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at the Forum of Clark Hall and its surrounding spaces. The theme of the event is Adapting to Now, with a focus on “AI in Teaching and Scholarship” and “Thriving in Uncertain Times.”

This event provides an opportunity for faculty, staff, and administrators to come together, share knowledge, learn from experts, seek support, recognize accomplishments, and connect with colleagues across the University. The symposium committee invites all PTK, TTK, and adjunct faculty members, as well as administrators and staff, to attend the symposium.

Be on the lookout for registration to open by the end of January, and follow us on social media @umdptk #ptk2026 #umdptk.
