Service activities make significant contributions to the advancement of the educational, scholarly, governance, and collegial goals and missions of the University, College, Campus, Department, or community.  These activities may or may not be tied to a faculty member’s specialization within philosophy.  The following are examples of service and are not an exhaustive list.

These additional activities may include MA advising and thesis reading, participation in ad hoc committee assignments or student advising beyond routine assignments.
