Dear Member of the Promotion and Tenure Committee:

This site serves as my portfolio for promotion to the rank of Assistant Professor. At the urging of Dr. Joan Brookshire, I have opted to create an actual web site instead of the clunkier Blackboard portfolio to which members of the Promotion and Tenure Committee may be more accustomed. As such, it will read much more like a hypertext document than a linear document. Many of the links will take you to other web pages I have made to support my Montco classes or other professional activities. Such pages will open in a new window or tab on your browser. Should you get lost, simply click on the HOME navigation button under the banner on every page: that should reorient you in the portfolio.

Should there be a problem with the site links, rather than opting to not promote me, I hope you'll email me at hhalbert@mc3.edu and simply ask me to fix it immediately. I assure you, it will be my top priority.

--Dr. Harold William Halbert,
Full-time Lecturer
Montgomery County Community College
