You will find the LA Faculty Meeting Zoom link on the meeting agenda and the LARCP Faculty/Staff Calendar.
This is the last day to complete the online K-State Engagement Benchmarking Tool (EBT) to record your engaged work during the past calendar year. Participation in the EBT replaces our department report on engagement and supports your annual evaluation, frees up committee time and provides a larger audience for our work. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes. Our department will obtain a copy of LARCP reporting. If you collaborated with another faculty member, please coordinate who is reporting what so that you maximize your reporting opportunities. You may preview the survey
