Rank advancement portfolio guide & template: letters of recommendation

One possible way to set up your portfolio for rank advancement

Letters

VII. G.3.  Secure at least two letters of recommendation from Woodbury faculty and at least one letter from non-Woodbury faculty acquainted with [your] educational or professional work. Ideally, these faculty should be of the rank that [you] are pursuing. Letters should directly address criteria outlined in the Promotion Policy. Additional letters from administrators and/or professionals knowledgeable of the candidate’s work may also be included. Letters of recommendation may be solicited from one’s department chair and/or dean, but failure to seek such a letter will not be prejudicial to the candidate’s application.
