    The OMT division is pleased to present the annual OMT Junior Faculty

    this professional development workshop is for you. The workshop tries to
    make available the knowledge that you need to prosper in both the local
    and global academic environment. The workshop focuses on strategies for
    impact as a scholar and teacher, as well as on building a career in
    diverse professional settings. In the workshop, you will have a chance to
    interact with an exciting team of workshop Fellows through panels,
    discussion and informal talk, and to meet many other peers early in their
    careers.

    new faculty participants and the 18 Fellows. You are more than welcome to
