Are you considering a non-faculty career in academia? Academic and research staff — the colleagues who staff centers for teaching and learning, who work in administration, and who support research programs — help sustain the teaching and research foundations of higher education. These careers can be valuable ways of supporting students, faculty, and other staff in academia. Join us to hear CIRTL alumni reflect on how they came into these positions: what made them pursue this career path; its benefits, stressors, and rewards; and how CIRTL shaped their interests, skills, and community. We’ll hear from staff at the University of Illinois Chicago, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
