Annual Report and Plan

This policy establishes the process for the submission of faculty annual reports at the School of Architecture and Planning. The purpose of the annual report is to record each faculty member’s scholarship, teaching, and service contributions, as well as to determine how best to support their ongoing and future endeavors. The policy applies to all full-time faculty regardless of their title and rank.

The annual report consists of two parts: (1) One updated curriculum vitae (CV) dated December 31 of the previous calendar year being reported. Please highlight all new line items clearly using a different color or a text highlight tool. (2) Reflective statement, explained in detail below.

Faculty will submit a brief reflective statement (7,200 character maximum) highlighting key achievements, challenges, and goals. Each statement should clearly include scholarship, teaching, service, and reflection as distinct headings. Bulleted lists with brief explanations are preferred but not required.

Listed below are examples of areas that you may highlight in your statement.

Scholarship:

• Outputs of scholarship: publications, grants, exhibitions, etc.
• Ongoing scholarship activities:  research projects in development (e.g., ideation, piloting, and writing stages), community engagements, partnership building, including interdisciplinary collaborations
•  Dissemination activities: invited talks, panels, or conference presentations
• Indicators of impact: awards, citations, exhibitions, policy measures, etc.

Teaching: 

• Courses taught: existing and new courses with enrollments, format, and evaluation highlights (if available)
• Advising and mentoring: number of students, academic level, and topics
• Teaching innovations: curriculum development or pedagogical initiatives
• Student success: awards, publications, engagement, impact, co-curricular engagements, and career paths

Service:

• Committee participation: department, school, and university level
•  Community engagement: outreach and service learning
• Leadership and contributions to social justice: professional, academic, or community settings
• Student recruitment and retention

Reflection:

• Overall: reflection on meeting career milestones
•  Support needs: support you need from the school to advance your scholarship, teaching, and service
• Challenges and risks: conditions that may limit your productivity as a scholar, and how they can be addressed

Each annual report covers the calendar year (January 1 – December 31) unless otherwise stated. Faculty annual reports are due by January 15 each year. Chairs may request clarification when necessary.

The reports will be reviewed by the respective department chair. The chairs will hold post-submission meetings with all tenure-track faculty. All other faculty may meet with the chairs upon request.

Please submit your CVs to UBbox using this webpage. Please be sure to include your last name in the filename (e.g., Rajkovich_CV.pdf).
