The center is guided by a rotating board of three Juniata faculty. Members are selected on the basis of their scholarly teaching, SoTL credentials, and ongoing SoTL efforts. The critical leadership role of an advisory board member occurs during the second year of their term on the advisory board when he/she serves as director.

Become the Director

The three year commitment made by each member of the advisory board is intended to promote stability for the center while rotating membership encourages evolution in focus and expertise while spreading a culture of systematic assessment across campus.

The three year term consists of one year as director elect, one year as SoTL director, and one year as past director. The director elect and past director attend SoTL advisory board meetings and help with SoTL activities as needed. The SoTL director additionally plans the SoTL activities for their director year, conducts a SoTL project, and receives a half time course release.

To apply for the SoTL advisory board, an application for a three year term will be due to the Provost by March 15th of the year prior to joining the board. The application package should contain the following:

1. Description (limited to two pages) of your personal and/or professional goals for applying to join the advisory board, including any special circumstances (e.g. applying for a sabbatical to leverage additional release time during the year in which you are director) and a statement of commitment to the full 3 year term of an advisory board member.  If you have ideas of topics or themes SoTL may pursue your year as director, please include them in your goals.
2. A current curriculum vitae highlighting information relevant to your SoTL qualifications.
3. An abstract (limited to one page) of your proposed SoTL project to be conducted while director. Your project may change during your year as director-designate. Providing an initial abstract demonstrates that you are already thinking about potential SoTL projects.
4. Samples of SoTL work that you have completed (if available).

All applications will be reviewed by the advisory board and the Provost and the applicant will be informed of the status of their application by April 1st. Any faculty member can apply for the SoTL board including individuals who have already completed a 3 year term.
