The National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity invited three Emory experts to develop this course, which provides an overview of the best advice and approaches for putting together your dossier, regardless of your field or institution: how to tell the story of your research, show the impact of your work, make a case for your future work, write for the multiple readers of your statement, address possible perceived weaknesses, and more.
