SERVICE TO SOCIETY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNIVERSITY
Limited to those activities that use the candidate's professional expertise. Outreach in service is extending or sharing knowledge with the public community and helping constituents address issues of broad public concern, and includes service to communities, governments, corporations, learned societies, and other external constituencies. (Service activities must tie directly to the scholar's special field of knowledge.) Activities may include task forces, public hearings, professional performances, advisory boards, board of directors, external program chair, elected president, external reviewer, external evaluator, membership or leadership roles in community groups, consulting, and other events that are based on the expertise of the faculty member involved. For example:
- Membership on a church board is not outreach (unless your faculty expertise is related to religion); but membership on the board of a bank is outreach, especially for a faculty member in economics or finance.
- Leading a performance of the jazz band at the bayfront is outreach; forming an ad hoc band for an alumni reunion on campus is service.
