9 Providing Evidence for Promotion and/or Tenure “Achievement with potential for distinction” and “Distinction” For promotion to professor there are a set of metrics commonly used to establish distinction in assigned duties. These metrics help us distinguish between “output” and “outcome” and gauge the impact of a professor’s work. For example: In scholarship: Influence on the direction of a field of learning or research as reflected in meaningful awards, h-index or some other measure of citation, leadership in collaborative work (first authorships), invited presentations/exhibitions, securing extramural funding that results in scholarly outcomes, evidence of broad-based change in communities served, innovative development of intellectual property that has had demonstrable economic impact.

10 Providing Evidence for Promotion and/or Tenure “Achievement with potential for distinction” and “Distinction” In teaching/advising: Leadership in instruction and enhancement of the educational experience of students and mentees, as reflected in awards, significant and sustained professional development (including for assessment), improvement in SET scores, mentoring undergraduate students and graduate students through to graduation and on to successful careers, providing financial support for graduate students. In service: Significant impact on one’s academic unit and/or professional community as reflected in awards, involvement in significant university service (elected and appointed), leadership in professional organizations (elected or appointed).
