The FORWARD project will sponsor training sessions for faculty search committee members on Tuesday, Feb. 14, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 16, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Current search committee members are particularly encouraged to attend one of the sessions.

The training will include information on procedural aspects of the search process and research-based information addressing ways bias can influence recruitment and screening of applicants in a search, and strategies for overcoming bias.

Registration for either session should be completed by Friday, Feb. 10, on the FORWARD website at www.ndsu.edu/forward.
