CON Faculty Member Position Description: Difference between revisions

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Service is an important component of the faculty role and includes service within the College, university, professional community, and broader community. The form of faculty service may include committee memberships or chair roles, faculty practice, and participating in community service activities, as a few examples. The amount and type of service in which a faculty member engages depends on their goals, the needs within the College and university, and the faculty member’s annual assignment. Attending General Faculty Organization and campus division meeting are examples. Other examples include course group meetings and committee meetings. Faculty members are active members of the university community, serving on committees and task forces, and engaging in discussions about broader University of Nebraska Medical Center and University of Nebraska system initiatives. Faculty also are expected to provide service to the broader professional community, including professional associations, boards of directors, alumni and community groups. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty members partner with clinical and community agencies for educational, research, and practice initiatives and account for the needs of communities when making curricular, research, and clinical practice decisions. Faculty members who engage in faculty practice as part of their faculty role work with the Morehead Center for Nursing Practice to arrange and manage practice activities. Service is a way of operationalizing faculty members’ professional responsibilities and leadership contributions as well as a way of participating in shared governance and professional growth. The rules of faculty shared governance including roles and responsibilities are described in Policy 4.1, Rules of the Faculty Organization.</p>
