The 2011 ASHS Annual Conference

All universities expect faculty to achieve a high level of scholarship to receive tenure and subsequent promotions. Criteria vary among institutions, but some common expectations exist. The easiest to document are contributions in discovery/research. Documentation of scholarship in teaching requires an element of creativity, and scholarship in extension may be the most difficult to demonstrate. This presentation will address expectations of faculty being considered for promotion, and will offer some strategies for building an exemplary package. Common pitfalls will also be identified, as well as specific behaviors that increase your profile in the department.
