For the purposes of this standard, professional activities are defined as:

activities involving the use of professional expertise in helping solve practical problems in either the private or public sectors (e.g., professionally-related consultation, policy analysis, etc.);
activities in support of professional organizations (e.g., attending and participating in professional meetings and performing in leadership roles in professional organizations); and
professionally-related service activities directly tied to the academic discipline of the faculty member and consistent with the stated mission of the business programs. (Community and university service activities not directly related to the faculty member's discipline do not satisfy this standard.)

This category is designed to include the routine application of the faculty member's professional expertise in helping solve problems in either the private or public sectors. These may include activities for which the faculty member is paid, as well as for volunteer services. The key determination is "professionally-related." Community activities that are not professionally related are not to be included. For instance, general community service, such as coaching a little league soccer team or delivering meals to shut-ins, would not be considered professionally related.

The determination of "professionally related" depends upon the nature of the activity. For example, if a CPA conducts a men's bible class, it is not professionally related; however, if the CPA conducts an annual audit of the church's financial affairs and prepares an opinion letter, it would be considered professionally related.

Professionally related also includes activities in support of professional organizations. This might include: serving as an officer of a professional organization; participation in a professional meeting as a program chairperson, paper presenter or a discussant; or participation in seminars, symposia, short courses, and/or workshops intended as professional development or enrichment activities.

To demonstrate compliance with Criterion 5.8.2, please describe or explain:
professional activities in which your faculty members are involved; and
how you improve the balance and degree of faculty involvement in scholarly and professional activities that support the fulfillment of the institution's mission.
Summarize each faculty member's scholarly and professional activities for the last three years in a table similar to Figure 5.6.

Another consideration to this example could be to add a column for classroom activities and take credit for developing case studies and exercises as scholarly activities.
