I am now working on publishing an Alumni newsletter for our campus. This is not something we have ever done in the past. It would be a good adjunct recruiting tool, especially in health sciences and industrial technology. 

Does anyone else feel like a business or human resource person wrote this, rather than someone who actually works in academia? I feel like with a lot of the information, I am having to either think of ways to alter it to make it actually work for hiring faculty or take only part of it because the rest just does not apply. Maybe I'm missing something. 

Many of our programs have only one full time faculty member. I plan on suggesting that deans and chairs perform some of these incumbent interviews and observations before there is a need to hire. If we  make the list of KSAOs for various roles now, especially those with smaller faculty pools, it will save time and headache later.
