Hello again (again)! Thank you all for participating in the important process of interviewing candidates for SIS's two assistant professor positions. I was thrilled to see so many students at this morning's presentation. 🤩 There are three new pieces of information in the below message: * the link for students to provide feedback about candidates: https://tiny.utk.edu/sis_asst-prof_stu * information about an additional "visit" on February 17 * the presentation titles for nearly all candidates. First, a reminder: You'll note the ZOOM URL is the same for all presentations and student meetings. Please make sure your ZOOM user name includes your first and last names, and try to log on to ZOOM before joining (https://tennessee.ZOOM.us/profile<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftennessee.zoom.us%2Fprofile&data=04%7C01%7Crfm%40utk.edu%7C9a6baa4cb57c48bae41808d9e807e238%7C515813d9717d45dd9eca9aa19c09d6f9%7C0%7C0%7C637795942836329755%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=u%2FFwCkVj0ZEDmUqF1fyvS7vI16aSI0zXh0n%2FODTye8M%3D&reserved=0>) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The School of Information Sciences is conducting searches for two assistant professor faculty positions. Over the next several weeks, we will be hosting (on ZOOM) some truly remarkable candidates for interviews, and we need help from our undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students! How? Each candidate will make a research presentation, followed immediately by a 30-minute meeting with undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students. We hope you'll attend as many of these as you can--the student meeting will provide an especially good opportunity to chat with the candidates about their teaching and research in a less structured format. There are two (one remaining) presentations/student meetings this week: Date (all 2022) Presentation Title Presentation Time Meeting with Students (time) ZOOM URL (for presentations and meetings) 1. Tuesday, February 8 Networked communication structures in social, organizational, and crisis management contexts 12:30-1:30 p.m. 1:35-2:05 p.m. https://tiny.utk.edu/utksis_research-pres 2.

After all, whomever joins us will be your instructors, advisors, and mentors. This is also a great opportunity to see several IS faculty candidates' job talks and observe the type of questions faculty and students ask in these sessions. Thank you for your assistance-you are essential to the life of the School! --------------------------------------------------------- Rachel A.
