Announcement: Letters for Tenure Candidates Sought

The following members of the faculty are currently being considered for appointments with continuous tenure:

• Laura Burrack, Biology
• Sharon Marquart, Modern Laguages, Literatures, and Cultures & Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies
• Jacob Siehler, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics

Letters should address the criteria for tenure as stated in the Faculty Manual. The Kendall Center has provided a useful document with strategies for reducing implicit bias in recommendation letters; this will be a helpful reference in crafting letters on behalf of tenure candidates.

Letters are due Monday, September 21, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. All members of the Gustavus community are invited to submit letters. Candidates will have access to their letters.

Please note: Letters should be addressed to Provost Brenda Kelly, but should be emailed directly to her assistant, Shanon Nowell (snowell@gustavus.edu). Acknowledgment will be sent upon receipt.
