CSU promotion committee and mentoring

I have been invited to be involved in the CSU promotion process this year as a mentor and panel member (as I had done last year).

I attended an information session this morning to learn about the 2020 round. I was pleased to see information that teaching evaluations for the first semester of 2020 will not be included (unless requested) to accommodate the disruptions as a result of COVID-19.
This information on promotion readiness was useful:

Don't repeat information. Don't use the same evidence from previous applications. Referees should be able to independently comment on your career trajectory within the disciplinary context. They should comment knowledgably about where you sit based on academic standards. They should be outside of CSU, and typically should not include your PhD supervisor or recent co-authors. Applicants are encouraged to contact their supervisors and request a mentor early in the process.
