Scholarship programs intend to create a vibrant, scholarly community engaged in mindful, scholarly pursuits, both individually and collectively. CFI respects the diversity of scholarship that JMU faculty engage in and seeks to be responsive to that diversity by offering inclusive, evidence-based enrichment opportunities and foster inclusive communities that enhance scholarly productivity through high impact practices.
Programs are offered during the academic year and over the summer to meet the changing needs of faculty. The scholarship outcomes noted on this page are achieved through flexible and attuned programmatic offerings.
