Career Pathways
Several resources exist to support faculty members in their career pathway at William & Mary. Key markers for advancement exist for tenure-eligible and tenured faculty (TTE) members as they progress through the tenure and promotion process from assistant professor to associate professor and finally to full professor. Non-tenure eligible (NTE) faculty also have pathways to promotion.
The position of department/section chair provides faculty members with an initial foray into administrative leadership, while also still retaining a portion of their faculty role. Similarly, other joint faculty and administrative positions afford faculty members an opportunity to exert their leadership on campus in the form of committee chairs, program directors, and leaders on ad hoc committees.
A great starting place to learn more information on processes and steps involved along the faculty pathway is the Faculty Handbook. The Faculty Handbook outlines the various steps for advancement in position for both TTE and NTE faculty members. The by-laws of each of the schools and Arts & Sciences provide additional information on area processes.
