Each session covers a different topic for two hours of RCR credit, and you may sign up for one or more. Read descriptions.

Zoom

The Ivy+ Faculty Advancement Network opens its 2026-27 program with a symposium on trust and the future of the university with a practical lens: what sense faculty can make of these narratives and what they can do in their own departments, centers, and institutes. The event will cover a number of topics, including how faculty (not just presidents and boards) are central to rebuilding trust inside a university, concrete steps our leaders can take in our own departments, centers or institutes, and how to translate the national debate over trust into a next step at your own institution.

September 14-18, 12 - 1 p.m.

Check out five days of virtual sessions including retirement planning, Social Security strategies and more.
