Today’s Facilitator: Kerry Ann Rockquemore, PhD
Kerry Ann Rockquemore, PhD is the President of the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity. Her scholarship has focused on interracial families, biracial identity, and the politics of racial categorization. She is author of two books: Beyond Black and Raising Biracial Children, as well as over two dozen articles and book chapters on multiracial youth. After Dr. Rockquemore became a tenured professor (at the University of Illinois at Chicago), her focus shifted to improving conditions for pre-tenure faculty by creating supportive communities for professional development, research productivity, and work/life balance. Her award-winning work with under-represented faculty led to the publication of her most recent book: The Black Academic's Guide to Winning Tenure Without Losing Your Soul. Through the NCFDD, Dr. Rockquemore provides workshops for new faculty at colleges across the U.S., writes a weekly advice column for Inside Higher Education, and facilitates an online discussion forum for faculty, post-docs and graduate students at www.FacultyDiversity.org

MENTAL & BEHAVIORAL ERRORS
I. Common Mistakes
Differentiating the ideal from what’s real
“It’s really all about the work, so if I just do great work I’ll be successful.”
Reactive vs. proactive stance
“Everyone’s so busy, I don’t want to bother anyone with ___________…”
Hyper-individualism “I can figure everything out myself.”
Waiting for the perfect mentor/guru
“I’m looking for a mentor who can meet all my needs for my entire career. If only I can find that person…”
Narrow belief about professional development
“People outside my department/institution/discipline can’t understand my utterly unique circumstances”
