Application for Tenure


Leadership of Winona State University,  

In January of 2015, I submitted my application for promotion to the rank of Associate Professor. The promotion was granted for the 2015-2016 academic year, and I am now resubmitting the package for consideration for tenure. Last year I built a website to house my portfolio, and I have updated this website with new achievements. I recognize that many readers may already be familiar with my accomplishments and for those who wish to only read the updates from the past year, I have provided a single document that describes my activities in 2015.
If you wish to view the portfolio in its entirety, I have formatted the website to be as readable as possible. My portfolio is organized into separate webpages by criterion.  I have provided a downloadable file at the top of each linked page. This contains the same information as the webpage in a format that is accessible offline. At the end of each criterion, I provide a bulleted list of my activities ‘At-A-Glance’. Additionally, at the end of this letter, I provide links to my past PDP and PDR as well as my updated Vita. Finally, several of my colleagues have provided letters of recommendation for this promotion, and those letters are linked below. The same letters were used in 2015, and if you would like to contact my references to confirm continued endorsement, you are welcome to do so at your leisure. 


Thank you for this opportunity to present my achievements.


Respectfully submitted,

Francis M. Mann, Ph.D.
