These three institutions are part of a larger consortium of more than 20 liberal arts colleges (known as LADO) with an interest in recruiting talented new faculty. Across this consortium of schools, there were ~ 115 \u0026nbsp;tenure track faculty openings last year, and there are ~125 tenure track openings currently being advertised for the 2015-16 academic year (along with roughly two dozen fellowship and post-doctoral opportunities). We encourage graduate students and postdocs, even if they are not yet on the job market, to attend. This is an opportunity to learn about careers at liberal arts colleges generally, and to get specific advice about how to prepare for the application process \u003Cem\u003Ein advance\u003C\/em\u003E as well as when you are actually ready to enter the job market.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegistration:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/T5HVSH7\u0022\u003EPlease Register by clicking here\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAgenda:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E8:30-8:45\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Welcome by Jackie Royster, Georgia Tech\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E8:45- 9:00\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Introduction to LADO (Liberal Arts with Diversity Officers) by Mike Reed and Crystal Williams)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELADO member institutions\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EList of tenure track openings and other opportunities\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E9:00-10:30\u0026nbsp; Panel Discussion: Building a Career at a Liberal Arts College\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EWhat\u2019s it like to teach at a Liberal Arts College?\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAm I expected to and can I develop a strong research agenda?\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EWhat would be my relation to the institution?\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EWhat kind of life could I have?\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E10:30-12:00\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBreakout Discussions by Disciplinary Areas\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHow to prepare for applying down the road?\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHow to apply?
