PTK Symposium & Mentoring Program

PTK Symposium & Mentoring Program

Registration is open for the 7th Annual PTK Symposium online and in-person event March 6-7, 2025!  Focused on Promotion and Community, this year’s Symposium provides information, inspiration, and celebration for the significant contributions of PTKs here at UMD.  The event is for PTK faculty and those who work with them. 

The plenary session on the virtual day (3/6) will feature a panel of the Provost’s PTK Faculty Excellence Award winners. In person on 3/7, Jay Rosello, Vice President for Legal Affairs & General Counsel at the University of Maryland, will give the plenary address,  Free Speech and Academic Freedom on Campus. The program this year features more than 20 sessions on topics relevant to PTK faculty, including promotion, networking, community, and professional development.

Last year the Symposium launched a Mentoring Group, and that is continuing this year in a new format, with more structure and resources for participants. This year, a mentor will be paired with three mentees for a year long commitment. Whether you're new to the faculty or more experienced PTK, this program offers opportunities for growth in teaching, research, administration, leadership, work-life balance, and more. The leadership of the Mentoring Group will make the pairings.
