Revised October 2021
GUIDELINES FOR COMPLETING ACTIVITIES SHEETS
Activities sheets constitute an important part of the record that is reviewed by the Committee on Faculty Appointments and Advisory
Committee on Merit. They contain a list of your publications, research in progress, records of college and community service, and
grants received. Faculty members eligible for review are expected to provide activities sheets. For tenure-track reappointment and
tenure reviews, activities sheets should only cover the period of time since you have been at Wellesley College (unless you are
counting time at a previous institution as year(s) in rank). For promotion reviews, activities sheets should only cover the period since
your tenure review. For merit reviews, activities sheets should cover the period since your last review (either tenure, promotion or the
last time that you were eligible to stand for a merit review).
Name, department, and date must be included on top, right-hand corner of the first page.
