Guidelines for Preparing Curriculum Vitae

Appendices are provided for the inclusion of information and explanations that may be needed for clarification. The vitae is to be used to provide data. Do not include evaluation statements. The order in which the information is requested is not to be associated with priority.

Guidelines for preparing the vitae are provided below. Fictional examples from a spectrum of disciplines are available in the dean's and chair's offices should additional guidance be needed.

Data should be listed chronologically with most recent event entered last. In cases where you have an extensive amount of information (e.g. under Experience, Publications, Presentation, Service) you may append information you have from some other source even though formatted differently. Effective January 1, 1998, all new data are to be recorded as outlined in this curriculum vitae.

EDUCATION: Include Certification obtained through special programs/agencies.

WORK EXPERIENCE: Include all academic and non-academic experience.

HONORS/AWARDS: Include recognition obtained as a pre- and post-graduate.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE: Summarize major areas of instruction covered over teaching career. Specific course information for the past two years should be provided in Appendix A. Contributions to curriculum development can be provided in Appendix A. Involvement in teaching honors courses should be noted separately, since assignment to participation in the University Honors Program is regarded as a sign of merit.

ADVISING/MENTORING: List all students for whom supervision in shcolarly activities has been provided. In case of graduate degree study this would mean service as the committee chair. In the case of undergraduate degree study it is most likely that faculty mentoring will be formalized in some way, e.g. Independent Study, Research. If appropriate, student outcomes in terms of employment, graduate school, postdoctoral positions, etc., could be included in Appendix B. Use Appendix B to elaborate on advisory/mentoring roles as deemed necessary. Numbers of students advised may not of itself provide sufficient information on advisory role. Service as an advisor is commonly formalized by a department/school/college and can be a significant part of a person's responsibility.

CREATIVE ACTIVITIES: Use Appendix C to provide information that does not fit the format outlined and to explain information that may need clarification. Substantive work in progress should be reported in the appendix. For example, a book near completion should be included.

SUPPORT: Appendix D could be used to list information on previous support and proposals submitted by not funded and to explain information that may need clarification.

OUTREACH: Although a project may not have a formal designation, provide a short description under Project. Participants could include faculty, students and people from the community. Sponsorship could range from a federal agency to a local business. Specific information on amount of funding should be provided under SUPPORT. Appendix E can be used to provide a brief description of additional information on a project if needed.

SERVICE: Do not include service not linked to a discipline or the University.

CONSULTING: Although this information is optional, consulting may arise from an individual's scholarship or expertise.

PUBLICATIONS: Include all refereed and non-refereed publications, books, book reviews, and artistic works (this includes performances, exhibits, and recitals). NOTE: the Creative/Artistic category is included to accommodate faculty in the fine arts by allowing entries relevant to their specific discipline. Use Appendix C to provide information that does not fit the format outlined and to explain information that may need clarification.

PRESENTATIONS: Include all invited and not invited presentations. If the presentation is deemed to be refereed/non-refereed, it should be noted in the entry. Use Appendix C to provide information that does not fit the format outlined and to explain information that may need clarification.
