Incorporating social media into a tenure & promotion narrative

This resource is for academics. When I submitted in March 2016, I was not familiar with anyone else who had included a social media section in a tenure narrative. I discussed my social media in the service section of my tenure narrative. I assumed that people at the school and university level would be unfamiliar with social media in general and the use of social media as a tool for service and scholarship. I used this section as a way of educating the reader and to provide data about the reach and influence of my social media posts as a form of service. Today I might place this in scholarship under “social scholarship.”
