Portfolio Prepared Open Workdays: Fall 2023

P&T Prepared Open Workdays are designed to offer JSU faculty a collaborative place to work on promotion and tenure and 3rd year review portfolios.  To aid in portfolio preparation, Faculty Commons will open 208 Self Hall on select days as a quiet space. Faculty are invited to bring all P&T materials and work on any promotion and tenure related tasks. Faculty Commons will provide helpful tools such as electronic hole punchers and laminators and will be available to answer questions regarding Digital Measures and Evaluation Kit as a way of assisting faculty in their portfolio building process. Additionally, faculty will have access to a repository of approved P&T faculty portfolios, housed in Faculty Commons with permission from faculty, deans, and the provost.
