Workshop Description:

ASL and Interpreter Education can be found across a wide range of higher education institutions, each with their own culture and faculty positions. The specific combination of faculty position type and institutional type/culture has important implications for faculty work expectations and requirements for reappointment, tenure, and/or promotion. After gaining an understanding of institutional and faculty position characteristics, participants will identify their preferred work environment and will chart a path to employment and retention in their preferred positions.
