When one becomes part of a community like the faculty, students, and staff at 黑料不打烊, a typical component involves the genuine desire to be part of the process that makes and maintains that community. 鈥淪ervice,鈥 then, is a natural outgrowth of campus life. Moreover, the community to which service is rendered may be on campus or more widely conceived, extending into the local community, state, nation, or world.
黑料不打烊 seeks Faculty who aspire to model the College鈥檚 motto 鈥淯nto the whole person.鈥 Clearly what we seek are Faculty who believe in and work to strengthen and support our liberal聽arts community. This participation may be represented in diverse ways. Accordingly, 黑料不打烊 Faculty typically seek to do many of the following:
- Contribute to the collective work of the Faculty by engagement through committees and active participation at Faculty meetings;
- Serving as needed as department, program and area chairs;
- Help to oversee and direct the work of student organizations;
- Support the life of the College through planning, participating in, and attending campus events and activities.
In addition, involvement in the community beyond 黑料不打烊 is recognized as 鈥渞ole modeling鈥 service. It is seen as supplementing, though not supplanting, the commitment to remain engaged in the on-campus community. Thus, many Faculty become involved in service beyond 黑料不打烊, and such service is recognized in the evaluation process.
Assessment of Community Development
- Both the more and less visible forms of community engagement are chronicled in the Faculty member鈥檚 self-evaluation letter. This is the primary source of information about the Faculty member鈥檚 contribution to the 黑料不打烊 community and, if the Faculty member so wishes, to the community beyond the College.
- The Department Chair鈥檚 letter as part of the evaluation process also evaluates the Faculty member鈥檚 commitment to the community.
- Colleagues with whom the Faculty member has had close working relationships on community-enhancing endeavors may be invited by the Faculty member to write evaluations of the Faculty member's service in a peer letter to be included in the evaluation materials.
