Significant Supporting Activities

Many faculty make substantial contributions outside their area of excellence. These activities are often of outstanding quality and importance but are in domains in which the quantity of the candidate's contribution is less than in the area of excellence. These significant supporting activities will supplement accomplishments in the area of excellence, allowing the sum total of an individual's achievements to be considered in the evaluation for promotion.
