Mentoring-for-Leadership Series
Academic researchers are increasingly faced with attacks on their character, credibility, and work. While the impacts and harm of these crises can feel acute and personal, they also pose longer term risks to academic institutions that contribute to the overall decline in trust in science and the academy, which in turn can feed back to embolden campaigns of harassment and harm. In this November Mentoring-for-leadership event, Dr. Emma Spiro will discuss experiences, support needs, and ideas for response in cases of targeted harassment and intimidation. This event is designed to build peer support networks on campus, share practices and resources for faculty, and inform institutional efforts for researcher support.
Speaker Dr. Emma Spiro, Associate Professor, UW Information School; Director, Center for an Informed Public; UW Provost Academy Fellow.

Peer Coaching Kick Off 2025
Write Right Now
Peer coaching groups among the ADVANCE faculty are a great source of support, feedback, and advice. Groups typically include 6-8 faculty at a similar career stage (e.g. pre-tenure or post-tenure), each of whom are from a different department here at UW. The groups use a peer coaching model from the book Every Other Thursday.
ADVANCE will be holding peer coaching group info session to share details about the format, practice peer coaching, and engage in real time problem solving. After the kick off event, the peer coaching groups will be set up. Participants can still be placed in a group regardless of whether they attend the kick off event.

Leading in Uncertain Times: ADVANCE/OLP Fall 2025 Leadership Workshop
Quarterly Leadership Workshop
In conjunction with the Opportunities in Leadership Program (OLP), UW ADVANCE offers cross-college quarterly leadership workshops that address leadership and faculty professional development issues and are intended to facilitate cross-college networks and interdisciplinary information exchange.
This workshop will include two topics: Topic 1: Leadership in Uncertain Times: As we navigate seemingly unending and often disorienting change, it can be helpful to pause and reflect on how we want to show up as leaders. Our University Ombud, Chuck Sloane, provides a unique vantage point as a thought partner for many of us as academic leaders, and also in his role as head of an office that helps our units grapple with both change and conflict. In this workshop, Chuck will focus on specific approaches that are shown to be most beneficial for us as leaders working to support faculty, staff and students during highly uncertain times. , Topic 2: Updating Promotion and Tenure Criteria: We will also briefly address the…
