According to ACU’s Tenure & Promotion Guidelines, “A consideration of collegiality is particularly appropriate at a Christian university and is given special attention when tenure is under consideration. Collegiality involves relationships within departments/schools, within colleges, and within the university. These interactions should support the mission and goals at each level of the institution.”
The Collegiality section of my portfolio is divided into two subsections:
Following is a list of collegiality examples outlined in the Guidelines:
- Sharing personal values and beliefs with other colleagues
