Making Outreach Visible A Guide to Documenting Professional Service and Outreach

By Amy Driscoll, Ernest A. Lynton Copyright 1999

    Faculty professional service/outreach won’t get the respect and reward accorded other forms of scholarship until it can be documented and subjected to peer review. This companion volume to Lynton’s Making the Case for Professional Service delivers specifics for developing such a review process. The protocol calls for teams of faculty and administrators to reach consensus on goals, definitions, and logistics through guided reflection and discussion of prototype portfolios. Sixteen prototypes are included in the volume, the product of a three-year Kellogg-funded project.

    1 Introduction: Beyond Making the Case for Professional Service, 2 Defining Professional Service/Outreach 3 Documentation: Guidance for Development and Review 4 Issues From an Administrative Perspective 5 Sixteen Prototype Service/Outreach Portfolios 6 Reflections and Future Challenges
