Service
Service is a required part of the professorate. According to the Faculty Handbook, “Service includes active involvement, beyond departmental work, in the work of the college and University, in professional organizations, student activities, and community services that are consistent with LMU’s mission.” New faculty may be asked to accept certain departmental and college/school assignments that contribute to our professional goals and to your growth as a member of the community. You may be asked to represent the department at University or off-campus events (for example, an awards dinner, graduation banquet). Your cooperation and participation is important to the department, your college or school, and to students and alumni who expect you to attend.
