Faculty Program Accomplishment Narrative Template Help

Your annual Faculty Program Accomplishment Narratives lay the foundation for our communications with local, state, and national stakeholders. Please work with other faculty and staff in your office to provide a well-rounded picture of your successful West Virginia University Extension Service programs. As these reports are provided as documentation in your faculty productivity (P & T) file, the details illuminate and connect your teaching, research, and service activities.

Directions: Using the following nine components (based on the Glassick criteria) as your guide, please summarize your major programs. Please save each report as a separate Microsoft Word file. Download the Program Accomplishment Narrative Template. Send separate copies of all your reports to Paul Becker (Paul.Becker@mail.wvu.edu) via e-mail.
