ofpreparation decreases the likelihood that graduates will obtain these competitive positions.Providing more focused preparation can also reduce barriers to entering academia, increasingboth the number and diversity of qualified candidates.To provide students with such preparation, a seminar series was offered in Spring 2022 andSpring 2023 and was organized and co-taught by two or three faculty members as a serviceactivity and not part of their teaching load. SEA consisted of three topic areas: (1) informationabout academic careers and pathways, (2) application process and materials, and (3) interviewprocess and expectations. For the first two topic areas, most of the seminars were led by the co-instructors, while for the final topic area of the series

This paper focuses on an undergraduate student-facing presentationdeveloped by Get the Facts Out (GFO) used for teacher recruitment with the goal of examiningthe effectiveness of the presentation at impacting students’ perceptions of teaching. Thepresentation was designed to address common misconceptions about the teaching profession thatwere preventing many students from exploring teaching as a career path.Methods/Assessment: In 2021 and 2022, GFO conducted effectiveness studies on thepresentation in a first-year chemistry course at Colorado School of
