Service

University service by faculty includes such activities as academic advising, serving on committees, participating in faculty governance, supporting students outside of the classroom, and generally contributing to a healthy environment by engaging with the university community beyond assigned courses and research activities.

Beyond the university campus and local community, academic professionals engage with their specialized fields in a number of ways. 

A critical part of being an educator is not just working with my own students, but participating in educational opportunities in the local community and sometimes via the internet, using virtual tools at a global scale.
