Recap and videos from the June 6th Teaching Panel

The June 6th CMB Professional Development Teaching panel was a success. The ProDev committee was able to record the proceedings for those interested who were unable to attend, or if those who were in attendance need to note down a detail or two that they didn't get during the event itself.

The videos are in three parts.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

(Please adjust your audio accordingly; the videos are a little quiet)


Some of the websites and job search engines mentioned were the Chronicles of Higher Education, the UW-Madison Delta Program website, Higher Ed Jobs, and to directly look at the sites for the colleges or universities where you'd like to be employed.

Again, the CMB ProDev Committee is very grateful to the panelists Amy Briggs, Dyan Morgan, Don Gillian-Daniel, Gretchen Gerrish, Zach Pratt and Lee Bishop for participating in this event. Thanks so much; you guys rock!
