Faculty development
The Office of Faculty Success is dedicated to supporting the professional growth and career advancement of University of Washington Bothell faculty across all ranks and tracks.
The Office of Faculty Success (OFS) offers a variety of resources to support faculty development, including new faculty orientation for full-time faculty (virtual orientation for part-time faculty starting in Fall 2025), annual school-based promotion and tenure workshops, a Faculty Success program, and awards to enhance faculty scholarship and teaching.
New faculty orientation
The University of Washington provides several opportunities for new faculty across the university to connect with peers to learn about UW resources. In addition to fall orientation activities offered within individual schools, the University of Washington Bothell hosts a new faculty orientation for full-time faculty at the start of each fall quarter. The orientation provides faculty with an overview of how various units at UWB work with faculty to support their teaching and research.
Promotion & tenure workshops
Each spring, the Office of Faculty Success partners with UW Bothell schools to conduct a promotion and tenure workshop for candidates and committee chairs. The candidate-focused workshops educates candidates about the promotion and tenure process at UW, addresses common candidate questions and concerns, and reviews best practices for creating a dossier. The chair-focused workshops educate chairs on best practices for chairing promotion committees and addresses common issues that may arise during the review process.
