Provost’s Sabbatical Series
The Provost’s Sabbatical Series recognizes the wide range of fascinating and impressive sabbatical projects in which our faculty are engaged. Each semester, Provost and Dean of the College Marci Sortor invites two faculty members to give short presentations about their scholarly/professional work in a manner accessible to a general audience. Presenters are also asked to explain what they did to plan and prepare for their leaves, and how they have managed the transition back to the classroom (including ways in which they have integrated their sabbatical work with their teaching). Presenters are selected to highlight the diversity of sabbatical projects from recent faculty leaves.
The Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts is responsible for managing the Provost’s Sabbatical Series. The Faculty Life Committee co-sponsors the series.
