No. It is totally voluntary on your part.
You identify yourself. A critical element is that you not only do work IN the community but that you work with communities to advance mutually beneficial goals. Collaboration, reciprocity, co-creation, equity and justice are common values that inform how you teach, conduct research & creative activity and/or advance practice. You prioritize not only contributions to your discipline and/or students but also work to make sure that the results of your work yield accessible, actionable products that the publics/communities at the center of your work can use or find meaning in. You may frame your work in PES as a central integrative feature of your academic life, which that informs and is expressed across all areas of your work. You may also develop an orientation to PES as an emergent dimension of one area of your work or even a single project. The PESRC has capacity to provide feedback to you in either of these situations. The labels used to talk about publicly engaged scholarship varies across disciplines. To learn more about PES, visit our resource page.

No. The services of PESRC are open to both tenure-track faculty and non-tenure track faculty.
Currently, PESRC review is limited to formative review and is offered to help you prepare for a final review. If you are in your fourth year and would like this feedback, contact nosugreF eigraM.
Initiating review earlier rather than later is always preferred. This will enable you to make the best use of the guidance provided. Soliciting review 2 years prior to the year you plan to submit is a good rule of thumb but even candidates that are a year out from submitting can get valuable feedback. If you have questions about your case, contact nosugreF eigraM.
For tenure-track faculty, you should submit for PESRC review during the same year as your departmental third year review. If you are doing that review early, you can seek PESRC review early. For non-tenure track faculty, there isn’t a standard third year equivalent to third year review. We recommend that faculty seeking formative review through PESRC solicit 1-2 years prior to seeking promotion.
No, you will ALSO have a departmental and school review. The PESRC review focuses specifically on community-engaged aspects.
