Thousands of faculties throughout the USA and the world initiate and experience the stressful reappointment, tenure, and promotion (RTP) process at their colleges and universities each year. This workshop is needed to assist these faculty in finding resolutions to particular obstacles that are inherently a part of this process. Faculty need to know how to maintain their focus by tapping into competent resources to navigate this arduous process. Navigating this process while adhering to university standards is a clear route to success and advancement. However, not all faculty find it expedient for fulfilling their goals or expectations for reappointment, promotion, and tenure. Therefore, challenges may ensue. The management of these challenges is the focus of this session.
