Each year, we collect information about the activities of our faculty to stay informed about the great work that takes place on campus. As stated in the Bates College Faculty Handbook,
“Faculty are expected to enhance the learning environment of Bates College through high-quality instruction, consequential scholarship and creative work, and committed service that supports the institutional mission.”
These three pillars of our faculty’s professional work (teaching, professional achievements, and governance and engagement) are essential for creating the community that is at the heart of our nationally consequential liberal arts college. We hope you will take a moment to upload your updated CV and share your accomplishments that took place in the past academic year.
This is meant to be a brief synopsis of your work, and bulleted items/lists are encouraged.
Deadline for submission – June 30th!

TEACHING

As stated in the Faculty Handbook (Article II, Section 2):
“Excellent teaching is evidenced by self-reflection, exploration, and a continuing commitment to pedagogical development and growth. Effective teachers create an educational environment that permits an open exchange of ideas; they encourage deep learning, use high impact practices, and embrace inclusive pedagogies and evidence-based strategies. Excellent teaching involves effective mentoring and advising of students, which often takes place outside of the classroom.“
Please tell us about notable accomplishments (e.g., curricular redesign; pedagogical development; community engaged learning; new courses; new advising approaches; etc.) * There is a limit of 5000 characters.

PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT

As stated in the Faculty Handbook (Article II, Section 3):
“As a liberal arts institution, Bates takes an expansive and progressive view of intellectual work. Peer-reviewed work is one essential dimension of what faculty do as scholars and artists, and this peer-reviewed work is necessary for tenure and promotion. Bates recognizes that the nature of professional achievement varies according to the field of the candidate. The College considers significant intellectual endeavors connected to our disciplines such as non-peer reviewed community-engaged research, digital and public-facing contributions, and involvement with professional associations as part of evaluation when assessed in appropriate ways. All professional achievements are evaluated for the quality of the work, their significance within the discipline, and evidence of ongoing development or future promise.“
Please tell us about accomplishments that you feel are notable from the past year (e.g., performances; new publications; presentations; seminars; grants; gallery work; etc.) * There is a limit of 5000 characters.

GOVERNANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

As stated in the Faculty Handbook (Article II, Section 4):
“As a community of learners and scholars, Bates College relies on a model of shared governance which values the central role played by faculty. In every phase of their careers at Bates, faculty are therefore expected to make meaningful contributions to the work that sustains and advances the academic community at Bates College. Faculty members must provide evidence of their substantive contributions to their academic unit, college, or broader community as they stand for decisions on reappointment, tenure, and promotion. Examples of contributions include service on college committees, work within or chairing an academic program or department, engagement and leadership in campus initiatives, or leadership of or engagement with initiatives that identify and remove institutional or educational barriers due to racism, sexism, classism, or ableism. Bates also values professional contributions to the wider world, including professional organizations.“
Please tell us about any governance and engagement activities you took part in over the past year (e.g., committee assignments; search committees; significant departmental or programmatic work; work for professional societies; etc.) * There is a limit of 5000 characters.
