Cathy Hughes School of Communications Department of Media, Journalism and Film 525 Bryant St. NW, 230 Washington, DC 20059 August 14, 2018 Dear Dean Lawson-Borders and APT Committee Members, I am truly honored to apply for promotion to full professor. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to expand my contributions to academia, digital media and the legacy of Howard University. I am especially excited about continuing to contribute to the development of the Department of Media, Journalism and Film. My online application and digital portfolio includes evidence of how my teaching, research/creative activities, service and professional accomplishments meet and exceed the qualifications for promotion to full professor. They can be reviewed at https://yanickricelamb.com/howard-portfolio. The APT requirements are set forth in Recommendation 306-2015 and the departmental Guidelines for Creative Achievement in Appendix A. Taken together, these documents offer examples of scholarly and creative activities that have been deemed “exemplary” and “high” as determined by the faculty, peer institutions and best practices of the discipline. The journalism section on page 7 of Appendix A also notes the following: While length may be a consideration, it should not be the overriding consideration in evaluating a piece of work. What is more important is the quality of the work and its impact on public debate and to what degree it speaks for the voiceless in underserved communities. A series of short pieces that are timely can make as valuable a contribution as a book, which can take months or years before it reaches the public. On promotion from tenured associate professor to full professor, Recommendation 306-2015 states the following...

The requirements for promotion from tenured associate professor to full professor are set forth in Recommendation 306-2015 and the departmental Guidelines for Creative Achievement in Appendix A. Taken together, these documents offer examples of scholarly and creative activities that have been deemed “exemplary” and “high” as determined by the faculty, peer institutions and best practices of the discipline. I have a solid record in teaching, research/creative work and service — all of which have consistently been measured as high, outstanding or exemplary in annual evaluations. This is reflected in the summary below and throughout this portfolio, also accessible by hyperlinks in this document. Please note that professional development is now evaluated as part of teaching, research/creative work and service. However, my professional development activities are also grouped in a separate section because of overlaps and to make it easier to find everything in one place. The journalism section on page 7 of Appendix A also notes the following: While length may be a consideration, it should not be the overriding consideration in evaluating a piece of work. What is more important is the quality of the work and its impact on public debate and to what degree it speaks for the voiceless in underserved communities. A series of short pieces that are timely can make as valuable a contribution as a book, which can take months or years before it reaches the public. On promotion from tenured associate professor to full professor, Recommendation 306-2015 states the following in Sections VII.D.1-3 (page 15) and X.B.1-5. (page 19): Section VII.D.1: Degree Requirements The candidate shall possess … a master’s degree and professional distinction at the national...
