By nomination of academic dean; As a transition year for ATS programming, this event was redesigned to include synchronous workshops and conversations, along with asynchronous modules on a range of key topics. The preconference on publishing remains on the program. #ATSFACULTY2020
By registration—This online event is designed for academic deans in their first or second years of service at an ATS member school. Asynchronous course modules created by the ATS staff and synchronous sessions with the staff will provide new deans with important information and nurture development of the skills that will make their work more effective and fulfilling. It will acquaint new deans with the resources available to theological schools through ATS, facilitate connections among academic deans serving within the distinctive world of theological education, and continue the process of formation into the vocation of the academic deanship. #ATSNewDeans2020
By registration; Designed to provide opportunities for networking, resource sharing, and vocational enhancement, the goals of this gathering are (1) to further advance the professional development of women as administrative leaders in theological education, (2) to offer educational programming targeted to particular challenges of the COVID-19 reality, and (3) to encourage collegial networking aimed at building leadership capacity among women in theological schools. All women from ATS schools are invited to participate in varied webinar and workshop topics, a panel discussion, and opportunities for engagement through Q & A. Topics to be discussed include demonstrating visionary and adaptive leadership, ensuring community building amid social distancing, caring for students in the midst of COVID-19 realities, and pivoting to virtual teaching and learning. #ATSWIL2020
By registration; This year, 2020, has been a year of reckonings in our nation. We can no longer ignore our racial sins, the novel Coronavirus that threatens our health, economy, and community life, nor the environmental degradation with the power to devastate the lives of future generations. These reckonings can seem like the end of days and, in many ways, they are the end of any vision of ‘normal’ life. They are particularly a wake-up call to people and institutions of faith, demanding that we radically re-envision our work to prepare the next generation of ministers for the church and society. On Tuesday, panel members will explore how they frame the educational situation for seminaries and theology schools this fall and how their institutions are meeting the 2020 reckonings. The workshops on Wednesday will focus on particular strategies for leadership or programs in the works, allowing participants to join the conversation about how not to waste the opportunity these reckonings present to us.

By registration; We are designing an experience that will include both asynchronous and synchronous components for financial officers of ATS member schools. We will be using Canvas to create a space for you to interact with one another and to access some preparatory material, allowing our time together to be most impactful. The Canvas modules will open on October 27, and you will be asked to spend a couple hours over a two-week period with this initial asynchronous phase of the conference. We will then hold our synchronous portion of the conference via Zoom on November 10-11, from 2-5 p.m. ET both days. The synchronous portion will build on the preparatory material, and give you a chance to interact with presenters and cohorts of CFOs. #ATSCFOS2020
