Promotion Support

Promotion Support

While all Scholarly Writing Program offerings support faculty research and writing with a view to promotion, we offer additional support for all academic appointments going up for promotion in any rank.

Sample Promotion Statements

We have a range of sample statements from most ranks and corners of the university for reference. Contact Gen Creedon (gcreedon@iu.edu) for more information.

Drafting Workshops  

In December and May we offer a half-day Promotion Studio Workshop to help writers jump into drafting their promotions statements. The agenda includes a discussion of sample statements, time for drafting, and an opportunity to receive on-the-spot feedback from a peer.

Sign up for our workshops here

Promotion Statements Consultations

One-on-one consultations are available for those working on third-year review materials, research/creative activity statements, teaching philosophies, and service statements. We can help brainstorm as you’re getting started, offer advice as you’re drafting, and review complete drafts. You can Gen Creedon at gcreedon@iu.edu to arrange an alternate time.

Very generative and inspirational for me. As I embark on writing my promotion statement, I found the insights and suggestions on how to look for/build themes, how to provide a narrative to make our case strongest, as well as hearing thoughts on a variety of good/not so good practices very helpful and useful. I came out re-energized and inspired.
