Sample Addendum to External Review Letter for Community-Engaged Scholarship
The University of Iowa values community-engaged scholarship for research, teaching, and service. Faculty for whom a significant proportion of their scholarly or creative work is community engaged may submit a community-engaged scholarship statement and supplementary materials to document the goals, process, and impact of their engaged work. These materials may include products whose impact is not captured by traditional metrics, such as policy reports, public scholarship, and exhibits or community presentations. Because this faculty member has selected to include the communityengaged scholarship statement and supplementary materials, their dossier may differ from those typical in your field. These materials are not merely addenda to the research program of this candidate but key indicators of the impact of their engaged scholarship. Consideration of non-traditional metrics may be required to fairly assess the impact of this community-engaged scholarship. Please carefully consider these materials in your evaluation and assess both the scholarly significance of the work to your field as well as the significance to local community collaborators, to society, to the scholarship or engagement, and/or to interdisciplinary scholarship related to the social issue or problem.
