Mentoring with Marvin: A Conversation with Marvin Malecha, FAIA
Wednesday, April 14, 12:00 PM EST
For many years, Marvin Malecha, FAIA (Dean of the North Carolina State University College of Design and 2003 recipient of the prestigious AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education), has been leading junior faculty workshops at annual ACSA meetings and has been a leader in providing helpful advice to tenure-track faculty through his booklet, Advice to Aspiring Faculty.
If you've never had the opportunity to attend one of Marvin's great interactive workshops, or would love to participate once more, now is your chance!
The Building Technology Educators' Society is proud to announce a one hour telephone conference with Marvin on Wednesday April 14th at 12:00 EST / 9:00 AM PST.
While geared toward aspiring tenure-track faculty, the event is open to all, including part-time faculty. If you find the ups and downs of academia a confusing challenge, this is the session for you!
