In making this recommendation, I have reviewed the promotion application, the supplemental reviews and evaluations as specified in the Checklist for Promotion, and the criteria for promotion as stated in Section 2.6.2.1 of the Faculty Handbook. I have taken into consideration the recommendations of the Unit Committee, Chair, Dean, and University Committee. Although there may be various recommendations, this Office has considered all input in the making the recommendation to recommend promotion to the rank of associate professor with tenure for Dr. Kenneth Semmens.

If I can be of further assistance in the evaluation of this recommendation, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
