Candidate's statement of scholarly, scientific, professional or artistic accomplishments, goals, and plans.  The candidate must realize that after the dossier leaves the department, subsequent evaluation will be made by faculty collleagues without specific knowledge in the candidate's field.  Consequently, the statement should be written for a non-expert, and technical jargon should be avoided.  The statement should provide an understanding of the candidate's recent scholarly, professional, or artistic activities and describe how these activities are related to the candidate's long-term goals as an independent scholar-teacher (or artist as appropriate).  The candidate should specifically address the areas of research, teaching, and service and discuss how these activities are integrated.  Five pages or so should be adequate.  Longer statements and/or autobiographies are not useful.
