Letter of Intent

Dear Colleagues,

I respectfully submit this portfolio, which is for tenure and promotion at Abilene Christian University, in accordance with ACU’s tenure and promotion procedure described in the faculty handbook. At the conclusion of the Spring 2016 semester, I completed five years of teaching as a full-time tenure-track faculty member in the Biology Department at ACU.

The intent of this portfolio is to demonstrate my contributions over these past five years through four general criteria: teaching, scholarship, service and collegiality. This portfolio contains personal reflections and self-evaluations on each of those four criteria.

As for navigating the site, the four general criteria and a fifth category labeled “Supplemental Information” are listed above in the main navigation bar with each having subcategories listed below. Files in PDF format will open in a new tab.

All comments and critiques are welcome.  I appreciate any feedback that can help me improve this portfolio, and more importantly improve my effectiveness as a scholar, teacher, community member, and colleague.

Sincerely,
