Call for Applications: Assigned Time for Exceptional Service to Students

Academic Personnel Services (APS) is now accepting applications for Assigned Time for Exceptional Service to Students during the academic year 2024-2025. The Assigned Time for Exceptional Service to Students program was established through the faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) to “provide assigned time to faculty employees who are engaged in exceptional levels of service that support the CSU’s priorities, but who are not otherwise receiving an adjustment in workload to reflect their effort” (CBA 20.37).

Application materials, including a brief narrative and a current CV, must be submitted via Interfolio by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 22, 2024. To request an Interfolio template be set up for you, send an email to aps@humboldt.edu.

• Activities that may be supported by assigned time for exceptional service include:

• Student mentoring, advising, and outreach, especially as these activities support underserved, first-generation, and/or underrepresented students

• The development and implementation of high-impact educational practices; curricular redesign intended to improve student access and success

• Service to the department, college, university, or community that exceeds the normal expectations of all faculty

• Assignment to courses where increases to enrollment have demonstrably increased workload

• Other extraordinary forms of service to students

Full application details may be found in the attached announcement, also posted on the APS website. 

Have a wonderful Monday.

Jenn Capps
