Scholarly and Creative Endeavors Work Group
Purpose and Structure
The goal of the Scholarly and Creative Endeavors (SCE) Work Group is to create a supportive community of scholars/practitioners through the sharing of writing, research, and creative portfolios. Depending upon the needs of the participants, this group engages with a range of topics, including, but not limited to, discussing scholarship and creative work at various stages of the process, successes and challenges in the classroom, leadership opportunities, career transitions, and mentoring.
Time to Write, Research, or Create
While these work groups are designed around the model of working for three hours in
the morning and then meeting for a virtual lunch immediately afterward, that arrangement
may not fit everyone鈥檚 schedule. Therefore, some faculty/staff commit to spending
the same amount of time on a different day or time and join a lunch group that fits
into their schedule.
Lunch Meetings for Faculty/Staff
On a weekly basis, participants will connect during lunch (either in person or over
Zoom) so that colleagues can chat about projects and anything else that comes up.
By sharing goals and discussing progress, the SCE Work Group helps to advance faculty/staff
professional projects. Additionally, this group is an effective way to get to know
faculty/staff on campus across disciplinary boundaries and ranks.
Scholarly and Creative Endeavors (SCE) Work Groups resume this semester. Fall sessions run from Sept. 8 through Dec. 12, except for the week of Thanksgiving break.
