The Faculty Portfolio

General Information

Your faculty portfolio may include two parts:

·  Part I - Portfolio Summary Section (Teaching, Scholarship and Service)

·  Part II – Appendix

Each must be submitted to the Dean’s Office as separate PDF files.

The curriculum vita is not part of this document and is to be submitted separately.

Part I Portfolio Summary Section will contain only documented summaries of your effectiveness in three areas: 1) teaching, 2) scholarship, 3) service and will be the only part of your promotion casebook that will be submitted to the Provost’s Office for final review. Therefore, it would be best that you do not make any references to the appendix in the summary section. This section should be no larger than 7MB, (approximately 200 pages or less.)

Part II Appendix can contain other supporting documentation such as outlined below. The appendix has a 20 MB size limit. Should your appendix be larger than 20MB, you may submit multiple PDF files, each under 20 MB.

Both the Part I and Part II will be provided for review to the Appointments Promotions and Tenure and Executive Committees.

Recommended software

MS Word, Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 or higher (with embedded fonts to create PDF files.) Note: Create your PDF files by printing original files from MS Word directly to Adobe Acrobat. Avoid scanning whenever possible. Scanned documents make file sizes larger.

Formatting

Margins: 1" top, bottom, left, right

Font: Times New Roman or Times, size 12

Sections: Separate each major section (I, II, III, IV...) with a page break

Footer: Insert full name of candidate and degrees in footer
