Hello Education-Forward Faculty in the Mid-Atlantic,

We’re beyond excited to announce the 2nd Annual Off-the-Tenure-Track Retreat for non-tenure track faculty, happening June 18, 2025! Following the amazing success of last year’s inaugural retreat at Rutgers University-Camden, we’re thrilled to bring the action to Temple University’s Main Campus in Philadelphia, PA.

Last year, we kicked off the Mid-Atlantic Teaching Faculty Alliance, a vibrant community dedicated to supporting non-tenure track faculty in the Greater Philadelphia area. This year’s retreat will dive into the best strategies for growing an education-forward career outside the tenure track, all while continuing our mission to reduce stigma and highlight the immense value of teaching-focused full-time faculty.

If you’re a teaching-focused full-time faculty member in or near Philadelphia, we’d love for you to join us on June 18, 2025 at Temple University! We will be sharing registration details soon, including options to submit a topic for a presentation or a panel. We’re expecting to accommodate up to 200 attendees, and the best part? There’s no registration fee!

We can’t wait to see you there!

Sincerely, 

The Retreat Planning Committee
