<div><span style="font-size:14px">Dear jen,</span> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px">Department chairs are caught between a rock and a hard place, between their faculty colleagues and the administration. If you are a chair or have been a chair in the past, you know this: You have all the responsibility but
very little authority. You make the best decisions you can every day equipped with incomplete information. You aspire to make change on behalf of your department, but you spend nights and weekends fielding emails from that colleague—you know the one.<br>
<br>
In a time of pandemic, economic collapse, and tectonic movements toward racial justice, the department chair’s role has never been more challenging—and it has never been more important.
<a href="https://info.chronicle.com/kE2JE0f005N03KUPq602E0A" target="_blank"><strong>Please join us for frank conversation</strong></a> among peers, faculty to faculty, about life as a department chair and leading from the middle.<br>
<br>
<strong><em>The Chronicle</em> has partnered with DeverJustice LLC and Ithaka S+R for a
<a href="https://info.chronicle.com/kE2JE0f005N03KUPq602E0A" target="_blank" id="">
two-day virtual professional-development workshop series</a> designed to help your department chairs navigate the increasingly complex challenges of the role. This two-part workshop is not your typical virtual event. It goes beyond the PowerPoint and traditional
speaker/attendee format and allows for full engagement and participation.</strong><br>
<br>
In small, ten-person groups, chairs will have the opportunity to present their department- or institution-specific issues with peers, receive hands-on coaching from experienced chairs, and get to pressing issues, whether about the shift to online learning or
supporting faculty and students during a crisis. Participants will also receive exclusive in-depth reports published by
<em>The Chronicle</em>.<br>
<br>
The role of department chairs is critical to student, faculty, and institutional success, and the effects of the pandemic only intensify an already-difficult job.
<strong><a href="https://info.chronicle.com/kE2JE0f005N03KUPq602E0A" target="_blank" id="">Encourage your chairs to register today</a></strong> and ensure they are equipped to be effective leaders during the current crisis and beyond.</span>
