<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">This document provides guiding principles to assist the faculty in preparing their documents for promotion and/or continuous appointment (tenure). Included are the criteria the committee uses in its process of reviewing the faculty documents and forming a recommendation to the Dean. The criteria in this document are areas of evidence that the faculty will demonstrate as their accomplishments in the narratives. The committee anticipates that faculty members will have different accomplishments to cite in the topic areas. There is a Promotion and Tenure webpage on the College of Nursing’s Policy and Procedure wiki that provides a link to the UNMC Promotion and Tenure (P&T) that provides a link to the UNMC Promotion and Tenure guidelines and additional information regarding completion of the application (e.g., application deadlines, coaching assistance, request for reviewer, examples of narratives for the application).</p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">This document provides guiding principles to assist the faculty in preparing their documents for promotion and/or continuous appointment (tenure).

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Promotion and tenure application includes a two page prose description of the evidence supporting your accomplishments in each of the three areas. This is where you must really highlight your accomplishments to assist others reviewing your application to understand the significance of your contributions to the college, university, and profession. The narratives focus on the last 4-6 (associate) or 5-7 (professor) years, not your entire career. As you write prepare your narrative, be concise and state specifically your accomplishments and the impact you have had in the areas of focus (teaching, scholarly activity, or professional service). Prepare the narrative in chronological order to illustrate how one activity leads to the next so that any reviewer will be able to clearly see the sustained contributions or outstanding record.</p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Promotion and tenure application includes a two page prose description of the evidence supporting your accomplishments in each of the three areas.
