 The Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD) of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) is pleased to announce a new online resource: Interdisciplinary Hiring, Tenure and Promotion: Guidance for Individuals and Institutions. “Guidance” presents the first comprehensive approach that deals with the entire pre- and post-tenure experience.  It addresses issues faced by both faculty and research scientists, raising points for consideration and providing recommendations with examples.  The resource is designed to help guide individuals, as well as institutions, in fostering and promoting interdisciplinary scholars throughout their career.
