How registration works
Each endorsement begins with workshops that are open to all faculty and staff—no commitment required. From there, you decide whether to continue toward the full credential.
1. Attend a workshop:
Early workshops are open to all Penn State faculty and staff. Choose any upcoming workshop or event connected to an endorsement track.
2. Explore and declare:
After attending, you'll receive information about continuing toward the full Provost Endorsement, and you'll decide whether the full pathway fits your goals.
3. Share your interest:
If you'd like to continue, let us know. We'll add you to the Canvas course and connect you with the remaining milestones as part of a committed cohort.
4. Complete the full endorsement:
Work through the remaining milestones — a panel or discussion session, applied practice, and a mentoring philosophy statement — and earn the Provost Endorsement credential.
