What kinds of professional activities are usually engaged in by faculty?
The candidate’s professional activities should be scrutinized for evidence of achievement and leadership in the field and of demonstrated progressiveness in the development or utilization of new approaches and techniques for the solution of professional problems. Examples of the types of professional activities, which are common, include: reviewing of articles, books, or works of art; membership on editorial boards and on research society committees; organizing of symposia; and other such activities which give faculty opportunities to use their leadership skills. Invitations to work with professional groups may also indicate that one’s research or creative work is recognized and valued nationally and/or internationally.
