  • The value of the activity for the attendant and the university should be made particularly clear to the committee.
  • The scope of the activity (e.g., international/national, regional, state, local) will be used as ranking criterion.
  • All special academic activities proposals must be accompanied by:
    1. verification when available form the sponsoring organization indicating the participants' role in the activity;
    2. justification in 250 words of less describing your role and the value of the activity to your profession
