Faculty have access to an individual membership in NCFDD simply by registering an account using their MSU email; MSU has an institutional membership which makes these resources available to faculty. The site offers a series of webinars and events that foster faculty success in both research and teaching.
For the 2022-2025 period, Madison’s FEA is Associate Professor Susan Stein-Roggenbuck.
Statement of Purpose:
I work with the Dean’s office and the Faculty Affairs Committee to review and develop policies that relate to search committee processes, annual review, reappointment and promotion. For 2022-2023, Associate Dean Linda Racioppi and I will offer annual workshops in preparation for annual review submissions and for those standing for reappointment or promotion. We seek feedback on all policies to identify unintended issues and also a need to clarify any part of the process. I am happy to review any materials related to these evaluations.
I play no role in evaluating faculty and academic staff to allow for frank conversations. Conversations are always confidential and I will take no action without the explicit permission of the faculty or academic staff person. Exceptions are any cases in violation of MSU’s Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct policy, as I am a mandatory reporter.
I encourage all faculty and academic staff to reach out with any concerns or to seek guidance in any of their responsibilities. My role is to serve as a mentoring resource for all. I very much want everyone to succeed in their time in the college.
