Dr. Helm’s activities in his new position will focus primarily on the career needs of doctoral students and his efforts will complement the Career Selection and Professional Skill Development Workshop Series organized by the staff of the Graduate School under the leadership of Professors Rique Campa and Judith Stoddart.

The Center for the Scholarship of Teaching

The Center for the Scholarship of Teaching is pleased to announce that its resuming its seminar for doctoral students interested in preparing teaching materials for the purposes of applying and

interviewing for academic jobs.  Increasingly, universities and colleges expect applicants to present documentation of their qualifications in teaching. Through these monthly seminar meetings we are offering you an opportunity to prepare materials for applications, prepare portfolios to take on job interviews, and support the development of websites that you might use to represent your teaching experience and interests.  These seminar meetings are also going to be designed to provide you with a forum to practice "job talks" before you actually go on your interview, develop syllabi for courses that you can imagine teaching, and the like.  While we

understand that you will need support for other aspects of job applications and interviews (related to research, for example), we would like to focus the deliberations of this group on issues

concerning teaching. If you are interested in participating in such a seminar, tailored to

your needs and interests as you think about preparing for job interviews -- specifically for how you would present yourself as teacher on those occasions -- please let Benita Barnes (barnesbe@msu.edu) or Suzanne Wilson (swilson@msu.edu) know.  Also, please suggest some days and times that would be optimal for you to meet.
