The division assistant dean’s letter should identify the areas of academic endeavor (i.e., teaching, professional service and/or scholarly activity) upon which the recommendation is based. The division assistant dean’s letter should contain the summaries of teaching evaluations. In the case of a faculty member who also holds an administration position and is seeking promotion and/or tenure, the chair of the P&T Committee will determine in consultation with the Dean of the CON, an appropriate individual to write the letter of support.

As you prepare your narrative be concise and state specifically your accomplishments and the impact you have in the areas of focus (teaching, scholarship, or professional service). </p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Prior to developing your narratives you need to discuss rank and your specific areas of accomplishments (teaching, scholarly activity, professional service) with your supervisor.
