We are aiming to write two editorials for SICB societal journals about the wide diversity of faculty experiences at PUIs (teaching load, research support, service expectations, etc.) and best practices for applying to PUI faculty jobs ( interview questions, teaching and research statements, etc.).

A T-Shirt quilt for the Portland SICB auction?!!🙌 James Murray plans to make a blanket out of old SICB shirts, and he has 5 from previous meetings. He's looking for 4 more to make a 3x3 blanket. Then he will donate the blanket to the auction. james.murray@csueastbay.edu to donate your shirt.
