‘This letter fulfills this ASPT requirement by addressing your annual performance review.

recommendations into your professional activities and efforts. The recommendations,
along with your current productivity, are intended to facilitate your progress and
continued growth as a faculty member. If you choose to discuss the contents of this letter
with the SFSC, please let the Director of the School of Teaching and Learning know by
February 8.

as well as nationally. Your accomplishments have brought recognition to School of
