Exemplary Promotion and Tenure Dossiers
The Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost makes a selection of exemplary Promotion and Tenure dossiers available for faculty review throughout the year. These dossiers (Tab 2 faculty narratives) offer good examples of the variety of ways in which faculty summarize and present their work and scholarly impact as part of their promotion and/or tenure case. These dossiers are available for faculty review via CyBox. If you are interested in reviewing these dossiers, please contact Mel Lee at mklee@iastate.edu or Megan Peterson at meganmp@iastate.edu, or call 515-294-9591.
