Interfolio dossier promo 20171/18/2024 Candidates considering promotion review should speak with mentors and their department head to assess the degree to which their work has demonstrable impact consistent with promotion.Ĭandidates should be advised that their department head will need to include in their review a statement about any documented and currently pending sanctions, requirements, or personnel issues that are not resolved at the time of the review. They need to demonstrate sustained excellence in research/scholarship/creative works, teaching, and service, with national and/or international recognition. Candidates may choose not to use the approved extension.Ĭandidates who are tenured do not have a mandatory time to undergo review to full professor. Extensions to the probationary period may be granted through petition by the faculty member, recommendation by the department head and dean, and approval by the Vice President for Faculty Affairs. If an early review is not successful, the next review will be conducted at the mandatory time. For example, a faculty member hired in 2017 with a 7 year probationary period will undergo mandatory tenure review in 2022-2023 (2017+7-2 = 2022).Ĭandidates can choose to undergo review before this mandatory date and should speak to mentors and the department head if considering this option. This will give you the fall semester of the tenure consideration year. To calculate the academic year of mandatory review, take the calendar year hired and add the probationary period, then subtract 2 years. Deciding to Undergo ReviewĬandidates on the tenure-track have a mandatory review date set at the time of hire. There are workshops offered by the Office for Faculty Affairs during March or April, and candidates are encouraged to attend these workshops to gain insight into the process and to prepare the year before they undergo review. Faculty members who are jointly appointed (for funded joint appointments) will be reviewed and evaluated separately by each unit according to their guidelines, although the units will collaborate on the list of external reviewers and will have shared access to the candidate’s Interfolio file. These guidelines include the procedures that will be followed during the review process, the criteria that will be used as indicators of contributions, and the expectations for contributions at each level of promotion for each faculty track.

Unique hype los angeles1/17/2024 ![]() Similarly, with their art direction Hype Type and Socio constructed familiar domestic scenes, but subverted this typical commercial photography with more abstract, textural imagery and an informal street style aesthetic. ![]() “To let the featured sneakers shine, and to leave the door open to partner with other brands,” Hype Type’s Paul Hutchison explains, “we wanted to avoid imposing a strong sense of brand colour,” concluded in a largely monochromatic brand. Stripping back processes, and in doing so making a feature of them, the packaging consists mainly of raw materials such as undyed cardboard, aluminium and foil. Wanting to keep a broad audience and not alienate those who aren’t sneakerheads, decisions such as their colour palette, packaging and brand photography were kept specific enough to reference street culture without that becoming all there was to the brand. “Aperçu certainly doesn’t lack personality,” Carter summarises, “but it sits back just enough.” ![]() Boldly emblazoning the brand with the straight-talking Apercu Mono, Carter tells us “Aperçu simply had the right feel,” adding “Steve and his team are known for how they communicate with their fans in such an open, straightforward way, so the type had to reflect their personality.” Capitalising on the mechanical construction of monospaced typefaces, Hype Type and Socio have managed to convey the sense of process, production and consideration behind the brand, but maintain a friendliness through the playfulness and simplicity found in Aperçu. Opting for a monospace typeface, Socio’s Nic Carter explains the “monospace logotype was the best choice to create a clean shape, with aligned letterforms,” after electing to stack and segment the company’s name to make it easier to read. In looking back to what made Reshoevn8r so unique, the brand now steers emphasis away from simply cleaning shoes to acting as a celebration of sneaker culture – reconsolidating a more simplified and refined brand that comfortably sits within the street culture scene it hopes to re-colonise. In need of an aesthetic rejuvenation to enliven the brand and its purpose, realign their focus and reconsider their future, Reshoevn8r approached Los-Angeles-based creative studio Hype Type to help – in collaboration with the London-based brand and strategy agency Socio. His French countryman Tony Parker won four NBA titles playing for Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs.Almost a decade since Steve Grear first launched the product, Arizona-based shoe care company Reshoevn8r began to lose the market superiority they once had. What Wembanyama ultimately wants is to be an NBA champion. There's a new wave coming and he's just the next iteration of it," Fraschilla said. The international player is no longer an anomaly in this league. ![]() "The beauty for a casual basketball fan is to understand that basketball is now a global game. This season there are 125 international players in the NBA from 40 different countries. Wembanyama is the latest example of how much basketball has grown around the world. But the beauty of Wemby is that he's got all the potential in the world to be dominant on both ends of the floor," he said.Ĭoach Gregg Popovich won championships with players like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. "I want to say that defensively he's ahead of where he is offensively. Wembanyama's size and reach have made him an immediate force to be reckoned with. NBA players will have a trophy and a large cash prize to play for early in the season, but will the tournament resonate with fans? LEARN MORE We've seen some bumps in the road, but we've also seen glimpses of greatness," he said.Ĭan the NBA spice up the regular season with in-season tournament? "He's still in the early stages of development and the early part of this season. He's been with ESPN for 20 years and has had a special emphasis on international players like Wembanyama. He comes out of an incredibly athletic family in France," said Fraschilla.įraschilla coached nine seasons for three Division I teams and took two of them to the NCAA tournament, including St. "Many of us have known about him since probably the age of 14 or 15. Wembanyama played three seasons in the French LNB Pro A, the country's highest pro level while waiting to become draft-eligible in the NBA. Seven-foot-four with grace and agility, high level of skills, and then the off-the-court persona, the character, the humbleness, it's all there," said Fran Fraschilla, an ESPN basketball analyst. "You know, the craziest thing is if AI created a basketball player - which could happen someday -it would have been this guy. Victor Wembanyama is only 19 years old and appears to be everything as advertised, and possibly more. When the Spurs won the draft lottery, they won a basketball jackpot unlike any other.

South park episodes1/17/2024 ![]() It goes without saying that, without this pair of shorts, South Park as we know it today simply wouldn't exist. The Spirit of Christmas was Incredibly Important The shorts also feature prototypical versions of the main South Park cast, complete with their original voices. While there is a significant difference in quality between the two shorts, both were crudely made with construction paper and aging cameras. Santa" are the two shorts featured here, each featuring a group of crass children caught in an over-the-top battle between two of Christmastime's most famous figures. "The Spirit of Christmas" is an assemblage of two separate shorts produced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. But, if we're including everything here, we have to give it a spot on this list. ![]() Yes, " The Spirit of Christmas" isn't technically a South Park episode. Though it may not be a traditional Christmas-themed episode, there are plenty of laughs to be found throughout, especially whenever Jeff Bezos is on-screen. It even makes a direct reference to Hankey the Christmas Poo's cancelation, prompting a crass interaction with Santa Claus as he immediately catches onto the boys' ruse. The rampant commercialization of the holiday, expedited through the implementation of the Amazon Fulfillment Center within the town, takes center stage amid references to previous episodes. Notice how we didn't mention Santa Claus too much? Though the episode does take place during Christmastime, it purposefully eschews the supernatural elements of the holiday in favor of something more relatable. As Kenny quits, leaving the remaining few in a bind, the boys attempt to get the parade canceled via manufactured controversy. Following up on the Amazon storyline that filled a majority of the season, the boys find themselves in a rut when their role in the upcoming bike parade is thrown into jeopardy. To cap it all off, there's a morbidly hilarious sequence involving a Kurt Cobain hologram that has to be seen to be believed.Īs of writing, "Bike Parade" is one of the last proper Christmas episodes produced for South Park, taking place towards the tail-end of season 22. The obscenely vulgar title of the holiday special itself always gets a laugh, and Cartman's interpretation of ever-popular internet celebrities is surprisingly authentic. That being said, the individual gags throughout this episode are just as golden as you'd expect from South Park. Even "#HappyHolograms" split critical opinions at the time, as some felt it was an inconclusive finale with a bit too much going on. The brief period where South Park flirted with seasonal plotlines and serialization continues to polarize fans and critics alike. The episode was notable for featuring the popular internet personality PewDiePie as a special guest. A mishmash of pop culture trends and controversial events in the news cycle at the time, "#HappyHolograms" sees Cartman becoming a "let's player" prior to the airing of a massive Christmas special on television, with Randy revealing the truth about Lorde, Kyle attempting to put a stop to the special, and a plethora of celebrity holograms poking fun at their real-life counterparts. " #HappyHolograms" is the follow-up to the penultimate episode of season 18, "#REHASH." That being said, it's a definite highlight of South Park's experimental years prior to season 21.
