How To Write a Professional Business Email? (By Dr. Jerry Choi at WKU CBPM) 

Email is an important communication tool in business. 
For example, a business executive gets over 100 emails daily. 

But many do not write an email in a proper way.
A wrong form of Email makes a reader frustrated, and the sender cannot get what intended to.  

Harvard Business Review suggests the best practice of Business Email writing. 
Learning from the Military practice, Sehgal suggested three guidelines.
Here, I added two more guides for better Email writing in the real world. 

These five suggestions are…. 

First, Subjects with Keywords in the Title sentence
Second, Bottom Line Up Front - BLUF
Third, Be Economical - Bullet type is recommended
Fourth, Keep the structure,  containing 5W and 1H, Whom, Why, What Where, When, How
Fifth, clearly indicate who is the sender. 

With keeping these five suggestions, you can write this style of professional Email. 

In the title, you can clearly describe what is the purpose of your Email with a “Keyword”. 

In the first line, You can clearly indicate ”Whom” you are sending your Email to. 

Then, you can give the ‘Bottom Line’ of your Email. 

Providing background or details will help a reader to take action. 

Be polite, and please tell the receiver who is sending this Email and how to get you. 

This is it. 

Let’ keep these ‘Business Email Writing’ rules to make a professional communication.

2021. Jan. 24: Firstly, Archived. 

The Year 2020 started with the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Everybody was suffered, and it was true. 

Wenzhou-Kean University international faculty members were not exceptions. They struggled to come back to campus. And they stayed on the campus since their arrival on campus. 

In Winter, no international faculty could go outside of Zhejiang province of China without special permission. 

Most of international faculty should stay at Wenzhou area in the gloomy winter. WKU HR, then, suggested and organized "Faculty Retreat" programs to culturalize and socialize international faculty members.

From the 2020 winter Faculty Retreat, Dr. Choi develop himself as a "New Media" expert through recording, archiving, and disseminating 'Wenzhou, China, Culture and Tradition" learning.

His archives are in the below website.

Dear Colleagues:

Thank you for your commitment to delivering an excellent academic experience to our students during very challenging semesters.

 Kean University has adopted Interfolio as its faculty management system. Interfolio is a secure, online collaboration platform that provides customizable tools to manage all of the documents, workflows, data, committees, communication, and outcomes associated with review-based academic decisions. The first module being launched is Faculty Activity Reporting (Faculty 180) which is an online platform for faculty activity reporting that will assist in accreditation, other reporting analytics, and feed into all faculty evaluation processes (Retention and Tenure, Promotion, A328, Sabbatical, and Lecturer Evaluations). Please carefully complete the Faculty Activity Reporting module.

 Some additional benefits of this module include:

·         the creation of a central repository for current and past teaching, scholarship, and service contributions

·         the ability to create a personal vita template

·         the opportunity to enhance collaboration among fellow faculty

Resources and Support

Please click on this link to access Faculty180. This link will also be posted on our Interfiolio web page under Academic Affairs in the future. This will take you to your Interfolio Dashboard, where you will find the Faculty180 tab on the left side. If you have issues signing in, please contact the Interfolio Help Desk at help@interfolio.com.

Hi, Joy and Maria,

    I am trying to get familiar with the Interfolio and update my information. From the notice form VPAA office, the training of Faculty 180 is scheduled at 3:30pm on December 3, which is 4:30 am in China. WKU faculty and staff have to watch the recording of the training. The notice indicated that recording will be available in the Dashboard. I did not see a tab for training recording in my Dashboard. Will it be available after the training?

    What is the timeline for faculty to complete the Faculty 180?

    What platform will be used for lecturer evaluation that can pull information from Faculty 180?

 

The PURPOSE of Faculty Activity Report at 'CLOUD' service. 

Every year, Kean Faculty Members generally prepare more than 300 pages of Reappointment Application Packages that include Academic CV, Profile Information, Publications, and all relevant Faculty Activities. What if we can make the ARTP processes simple and easier at online with higher security? That is the idea of Kean's 'Going to Cloud' initiative of ARTP affairs. 

Aligning with the transformation to Online Faculty Activity Report for Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion, Tenure, Promotion (ARTP) and HR affairs, WKU CBPM Management, Global Business, and Marketing (MGM) faculty members proactively complying with the movement.

WKU VPAA Office guided us to complete the FAR Initial completion by End of 2020 Fall Semester ( December . 18, 2020) based on the communication with Kean USA. 

WKU CBPM MGM faculty members try to complete the initial inputs of FAR via Interfolio Faculty 180 platform by Dec. 18, 2020.

2020 WKU CBPM Building Operational Improvement

CBPM has a nice building to provide world-class education. But it needs to get improved continually in operation. Social Media Lab, 2nd Floor Outdoor space, and the North side of the building can provide operational excellency if we can improve it slightly. 

Social Media Lab is to create world-class business educational contents. But it has risks of fire and health for poor indoor materials.

2nd-floor outdoor space can be extended as a part of “Business Research and Innovation Center (BRIC)” where it can provide “Business events such as Business speech; business gatherings, invite talks; Quartet, and small performance. This space can provide the chance to build a business network with the Wenzhou business community (This space can host 500 persons).

North side of the building (adjacent to the large indoor Auditorium) can be used as the “Outdoor Theater” as it was designed for if we can add solar panel and stage. This space can host a medium-size school event such as freshman welcoming or graduation ceremony (This space can host 1,000 persons). 

Suspended the Social Media Lab improvement for a while (Jan. 2021) for Budget problem. 

Dec. 08, 2020:

The Social Media Lab Improvement plan is suspended because a resolution was not achieved between Social Media Director and Logistics Department. The space will remain the same as it is.  But "Risk of Fire" will be continually addressed. 

Adding to the improvement, a Cafe facility can be installed in the 2nd floor. (2020. Jan. 14)

5. College of Business - Management, Global Business, and Marketing Banner Installed on the 2nd Floor spaces (Oct. 24, 2020)

6. Jan. 2021: Equipped "First Aids Package" and "WheelChair" for Medical Emergency Situation at the 2nd floor of CBPM building.

Dr. Jerry Choi coined the idea and donated the Medical Aid box and wheelchair. 

Dr. Margaret Chen suggested first aid medicines and materials. 

Dr. Candy Chiu suggested Wheelchair. 

Feb. 23, 2021: Suggestion of CBPM Building's Operational Adjustment with the New Campus Buildings.

You may know that WKU CBPM has around 60% student body size, and we have served many external operations in cooperating with the school's demand. 

And it's time to adjust the school space operational adjustment with the new campus building. 

Originally, CBPM had "Library" space and "Project Rooms" space on the first floor of our building. 

But those spaces are used for 'Exhibition Room' and some strange outside activities, not for CBPM purposes as below. 

"Could we talk and negotiate to make operational adjustments of CBPM building with new campus buildings?". 

One thing is clear for us, CBPM needs more space to manage 'larger numbers of CBPM students' day by day. 

And we wish we can make excellent 'operations' of each campus building continually. 

Please kindly consider this suggestion, and please feel free to contact us to talk about 'Operational Adjustment'.
