The Faculty Life Course Committee of the Faculty Council addresses issues likely to enhance faculty life at Emory across the academic career, from junior faculty to emeritus status. This committee brings faculty concerns to the attention of senior administrators and the Faculty Council. Central concerns are to improve academic productivity, facilitate retention, and augment the quality of life and sense of community for faculty at Emory. This year and next the committee would like to focus on mentoring, changes in career pathways post-tenure, decisions around retirement and benefits, and progress toward the 2007 recommendations for non tenure track faculty. The committee is seeking new members interested in these issues and ideas that faculty would like us to focus on.

Please contact Pat Marsteller (pmars [at] learnlink [dot] emory [dot] edu) to bring up issues or to join a working group. And for more information, please see http://www.worklife.emory.edu/facultylifecourse/index.html.
