[Galbraith, David W - (galbrait)]

Dear SPLS faculty:

Sabbatical leave is designed to enable faculty to make significant advances in their profession, remain highly effective in their position, or to render the greatest possible service to the university.

This email initiates the sabbatical leave application process for sabbaticals to be taken in academic year 2023-2024.

Instructions and relevant forms are available at the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs website: https://facultyaffairs.arizona.edu/content/sabbatical-leave-application-and-review. Relevant policies from the University Handbook for Appointed Personnel (UHAP 8.03.02, Sabbatical Leave) can be found at: http://policy.arizona.edu/human-resources/sabbatical-leave.  Please see here for updated guidelines<https://facultyaffairs.arizona.edu/guidance-consulting-or-employment-other-postsecondary-institutions> that include information about conflict of interest considerations in sabbatical requests.

Best wishes

David
