The Office for Faculty facilitates regular gatherings for Assistant and Associate Deans – affectionately termed “AD Lunches.” Serving as a parallel activity to Academic Leaders Online, not as a replacement, these events provide a space for interaction, problem-solving, and sharing of successful practices/processes.
We aim to provide a safe space for open and honest dialogue among our Assistant and Associate Deans. With that goal in mind, we do not generally record these sessions. Materials shared during the meetings may be available upon request. Please reach out to officeforfaculty@utah.edu with any questions, requests and/or ideas you may have for future AD Luncheons.
*These meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday of every other month from 12:00-1:30pm.*
