This interactive panel is designed to provide participants with insights into professional development opportunities that lead to career advancement in higher education. Panelists will share successful ways of leveraging experiences and expertise in ways that lead to leadership positions. Come discover strategies for career advancement and effective collaboration that will assist in making a lasting impact on higher education careers. Engage with panelists through Q&A and gain valuable perspectives on maximizing leadership potential and development for professional track faculty in academia.
