How do faculty who engage in community-based research and teaching make their best case for promotion and tenure?
UMD Engage partners with the University of Minnesota’s systemwide Office of Public Engagement, a unit of the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, to promote the following activities:
Promotion & Tenure Engaged Scholar Workshops - Fall 2023 Sessions TBD (October)
This annual three-part workshop identifies challenges that community- engaged scholars face in the promotion and tenure process and presents several strategic and practical approaches to addressing these challenges. All sessions will take place via Zoom.
Review Committee on Community-Engaged Scholarship
This committee is comprised of community-engaged scholars who are tenured faculty from Morris, Duluth, Rochester, and Crookston. Each member has a distinguished record of scholarship produced through community-engaged research, teaching, and/or outreach. Committee members review the dossier of participating scholar/candidates who conduct community-engaged work, then produce a letter offering an evaluation of the quality and impact of the candidate’s community-engaged scholarship. Members are also able to provide guidance and mentorship to early career scholars interested in presenting his/her community-engaged scholarship within the promotion dossier.
