APR: Listing Your Efforts to Support Mission-Aligned Contributions

One section of the Annual Performance Review offers faculty the opportunity to reflect on and document how their work advances UMass Chan’s mission, values, and institutional priorities. This section is intended to promote intentional engagement in practices that strengthen belonging, access, equity, and inclusive excellence across our education, research, clinical, and service missions.

Faculty may demonstrate their contributions through a broad range of activities, including, but not limited to:

• Teaching, mentoring, advising, and sponsorship
• Research, scholarship, and inclusive study design
• Clinical care, patient experience, and community engagement
• Recruitment, retention, and workforce development
• Departmental leadership, service, and climate improvement

Together, these efforts foster a learning and working environment where all members of the UMass Chan community are supported to thrive, contribute fully, and advance our shared mission.
