CV Preparation Instructions for Chairs & Staff
Curriculum Vitae (Updated through Dec. 2007)
1. Faculty members prepare CVs using a format consistent with colleagues in their discipline.
2. When CVs are completed and turned in, chairs should ensure that they meet their approval.
3. Once reports have been approved, convert them to Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). This is a relatively simple task—as easy as printing a document. To create PDFs, staff will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat, which can be purchased at the GSU Bookstore for under $100. Many departments should already have this capability.
John Medlock (3-5107) or Randy Trammell (3-5049) will be available to assist those who are unfamiliar with the process of creating PDFs. .
Non-Adobe PDF creators are also available for those who do not require Dean’s Office product support. Several vendors are listed in this PC Magazine article.
Files should be named using the faculty member’s last name in small case letters (Ex. P.C. Tai - tai.pdf; George Rainbolt - rainbolt.pdf). If there are two members of the department with the same last name, please add a hyphen and the first letter of the first name (Robin Morris - morris-r.pdf; Mary Morris - morris-m.pdf).
4. Please email alll files to John Medlock by Friday, January 18, 2008.
If you have questions about the CV collection process, please contact your department faculty information coordinator or John Medlock at dasjcm@langate.gsu.edu or 404-413-5107.
