The University of Tennessee Knoxville College of Arts & Sciences

Dear Colleagues:

As chair of the Dean’s Advisory Committee, I invite you to nominate colleagues or yourself to serve on behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences on a college or university committee.

These roles are vital to the success and strength of our college. We all know well that our service is essential to ensure shared governance of UT. While tenured and tenure‐track members of the faculty have a key duty to participate in these forms of service, there are important opportunities for non‐tenure track faculty to have input into the governance at the university and college levels.

If you are interested in serving on a committee or nominating someone to serve, please fill out this Google Form by Friday, May 19. More information about each committee, including positions to fill and term limits, are available on the form.

Thank you for considering this service to the college and the university.

Sincerely,
Annachiara Mariani
Associate Professor of Italian
World Languages and Cultures
