Professional Service Activities: Community

As is the case with most individuals working in higher education, I receive numerous requests to participate in professional community service activities. I have selected one or two examples from each year's activities to illustrate the types of activities that I most frequently participate in. For organizational purposes these have been grouped under separate headers. I have stopped reporting these over the last decade to save space and prevent further redundancy.
