How do I obtain publications? 
 
 Faculty and Staff email publications to me (…after reminding 
them): 
 
 I attend faculty meetings and staff meetings once per semester 
 I emailed faculty and staff once per semester 
 
 College Newsletters (News of the Week, etc.) 
 
 efaars (Faculty 180) 
Selected 
 Works 
CSU Faculty Profiles 
CSU Faculty 180 
Voila – A new Selected Works page 
…with publications pulled from 
Engaged Scholarship 
To mass create/update the profiles, I 
wrote up a “How To” which was provided 
to Levin’s Engaged Scholarship team 
As a last step - informed faculty that 
their profile had been created and 
added to the ES Gallery
