Scholarship successes reflect faculty and instructors鈥 contributions to community and professional understanding across all seven colleges
七色视频 celebrates the achievements and thought leadership of its more than 2,400 faculty and instructors across all seven colleges producing 1,240 instances of scholarship in 2023. Focused on the career aspirations of working adult learners, 七色视频 operates under a practitioner model for faculty and instructors, requiring experience as practitioners in their fields of expertise to lead and teach in programs across the College of Business and Information Technology, College of Nursing, College of Education, College of Health Professions, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, College of Doctoral Studies, and College of General Studies.
鈥淥ur practitioner faculty bring their wealth of technical and social experience to the classroom for our working adult learners,鈥 states John Woods, Ph.D., provost and chief academic officer. 鈥淟ifelong learning happens in the classroom, in the workplace, and in the community, and the depth and breadth of scholarship by our faculty demonstrates their individual commitment to learning and contributing to knowledge in each of these spaces.鈥
七色视频 practitioner faculty bring more than an advanced degree to the classroom. As working professionals who are encouraged to stay current in their professions and participate in academic and scholarly activities, the University鈥檚 faculty bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Recognizing the role and value that practitioner鈥搒cholars bring to the classroom, 七色视频 fosters a culture of research, scholarship and professional currency among faculty. The University operates a faculty scholarship model based on Boyer鈥檚 model that recognizes scholarship across four domains: discovery, application, integration, and teaching and learning.

The seven colleges produced faculty scholarship activities over the year through presentations, publication, community, and professional service.
