SABBATICAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

(June 2006)

From Chapter 3 of the Faculty Handbook:

1. Sabbatical reports are presented orally to the campus community during the fall semester following the sabbatical year, as arranged by the Faculty Growth and Development Committee.

This document, 2006 Sabbatical Presentation Guidelines, was developed by the Faculty Growth and Development Committee and is intended to help faculty prepare a comprehensive and effective sabbatical presentation. Each presenter is expected to include the following in his/her oral sabbatical report.

1. The specific objectives of the sabbatical activity (as originally outlined in

the sabbatical proposal).

2. A brief commentary on how well each of the sabbatical objectives was met.

3. An in-depth discussion of one (or two) of the most noteworthy accomplishments of the sabbatical activity.

4. A discussion of how the sabbatical activity will enhance your future scholarly and professional pursuits—(i.e., what will happen to your sabbatical work?). Will your sabbatical work contribute to a future course? If so, how? When will this new course be taught? Will the work be published? If so, where? When? Will your sabbatical work be part of a show or performance? If so, where? When? Will your sabbatical work form the foundation of future research? If so, explain?

A maximum of 30 minutes is allotted for each presentation (20 minutes for the oral report and 10 minutes for questions). Please keep your presentation within the allotted time. Specific audio-visual equipment needs should be relayed to the Chair of the Faculty Growth and Development Committee. Thank you.

Important Reminder:

Also from Chapter 3 of the Faculty Handbook:

1. Within one semester of returning from a sabbatical, the faculty member submits a written report on activities undertaken during the sabbatical to the Dean of the Faculty, the President of the College and the Chair of the Faculty Growth and Development Committee, describing and assessing the sabbatical activity
