Service

Service will be evaluated by the degree to which the faculty member shows a regular pattern of significant service to the University or broader community, or both. This area is an optional area of
evaluation and will be considered only if a faculty member stipulates that it is relevant.

The following lists indicate areas where faculty may regularly volunteer their time. Areas that require a higher level of commitment and/or greater leadership responsibilities will be weighted more heavily by the committee when evaluating performance in this area. Faculty must document the activities, their leadership roles, and time committed to each in their Professional Portfolio.
