It is that time of year that we recognize colleagues for the successful application for promotion in rank. Our A&P and faculty program professionals continually engage in a variety of functions (think programming, engagement, teaching, scholarship, service, etc). When “ready” their accomplishments across these activities are reviewed by peers weighed against the expectations of their rank and position description. Think A&P Educator Expectations Table and our Departmental APT Criteria for faculty.

If you are interested in more info, you may want to subscribe to a blog dedicated to this topic at https://extension.osu.edu/blog. It aims to aid in your pursuit of professional growth. It might also help you in your efforts to assist colleagues. If you are already subscribed, please encourage your co-workers you believe might also benefit.

Today we celebrate professional growth recognized in the form of promotion in rank of 33 A&P and 3 faculty colleagues. A&P professionals promoted in the 2022 class include:

Faculty promoted include:

  • Glen Arnold, Field Specialist Manure Management (to professor)
  • David Marrison, Coshocton ANR (to professor)
  • Elizabeth Hawkins, Field Specialist Agronomic Systems (to associate professor with tenure)

The process of applying for promotion is like applying for a new job. You document your qualifications, skills, experience and meaningful accomplishments.  You also describe what you have achieved in ways that enable others to reasonably assume you can succeed in the role for which you are applying. Why do we do this? You want to continue to be challenged and grow as a professional. Your employer wants to ensure you can be successful when tasked with higher level responsibilities.

Our goal is to help each other continue the upward trajectory in a way that is manageable, healthy, and sustainable. Key in doing so is understanding how the expectations vary depending on one’s rank. Do you know the rank of those you are working with? Do you know the expectations of their rank and of your own? How are we working in ways to better take care of each other?
