• Single items may be entered at any time. You are encouraged to enter information as it becomes available.

• Enter it once under the category that YOU would want to emphasize, and use the comment box to add information.

• Not necessarily. The point is for everyone to report at least those activities that are the highlights of his/her scholarly life. Overall, it is up to each faculty member to decide which activities are worth reporting, except in a few key areas.

All information related to the following is important and should be reported:

• Student-faculty research projects and publications
• Activities that led to or resulted from external grants
• Activities related to teacher education and work with P-12 schools and/or students
• FEN-related activities
• Sustainability-related activities

• The various types and categories are meant to suggest there is a broad range of things that might be worth reporting. The idea is that lots of activities can be seen as contributions to our scholarly community.
• The categories provide a way of collecting and storing information in a database so that it can be organized, searched, and used effectively.

• Department chairs draw from this information for their annual State of the Department reports.
  
• Tabulated data provides evidence for grant and gift proposals and other statistical reports.
• Activities may be highlighted in Calvin's web pages or other publicity materials or may receive other forms of public recognition.
• Reporting From Every Nation (FEN) related activities helps the college to monitor progress on FEN goals and to improve FEN programming.
• Reporting on sustainability related teaching and scholarship helps the college know what is already happening on campus as well as plan for future initiatives.

• Reports will be monitored continually in conjunction with Calvin's publicity and recruitment efforts.
• Reports will be accessed for institutional reporting purposes at various times of the year.
