Faculty who conduct community-engaged research find that these collaborative research projects take additional time and have a higher risk of failure. Taking these risks can provide complications for seeking promotion and tenure. Campus Community Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is sponsoring a free webinar on civic engagement and the tenure review process. See the information below.
The webinar is free, but space is limited.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Civic Engagement and the
Tenure Review Process
Wednesday, March 20 from 12:00 to 1:30 PM EST
Many university campuses are seeking ways to promote
increased civic engagement by their faculty. This session focuses on a
complicated issue which may ultimately determine the success of these
initiatives: how should engaged scholarship be evaluated during the promotion
and tenure review process relative to more traditional scholarly activities
About the Presenter:
Jordan Karubian:
In 2012, NERCHE was pleased to present the Ernest A. Lynton Award to Dr. Jordan Karubian, Assistant Professor
in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University in
New Orleans, Louisiana.
An assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University, Karubian's community engagement,
teaching, and research focus on understanding and reversing environmental
degradation and associated loss of biodiversity. In the South American
rainforest, he has developed a multi-faceted program that blends scientific
research with teaching, training, and capacity building to improve the welfare
and conservation capacity of local residents, a model he is replicating in the
savannah habitats of Australia and Papua New Guinea. He works with students and
community partners to research threatened species and habitats, and to promote
environmental awareness in the Gulf of Mexico region. The common thread in his
work is the integration of community engagement with more traditional scholarly
activities to empower local residents to make informed environmental decisions.
Karubian received his B.S. from the University of California, San Diego and his
M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago
