5. How much time are we expected
to spend on
“Leadership & Administrative Service”?

7. Typically 1 to 4 hours per week,
but can range from
none to 14 hours per week.

8. * Leadership/Administrative Service responsibilities
are fundamental to the success of the College, and are
fulfilled by faculty members who have established the
foundations of their careers. Thus, newly appointed
junior faculty may have little or no administrative
service responsibilities. These duties will increase as
their careers mature, including within the later years
of appointment as Assistant Professor.
