College Displays Faculty Scholarship

the new display case
Faculty books and other productions are now on exhibit outside the Dean’s Office in a new display case designed to showcase the faculty’s most recent works. The display is an ever-changing snapshot of scholarly productions in the college. "It’s my experience that faculty rarely receive sufficient recognition for their intellectual labor," said Dean Gary Olson. "Through awards, grants, and even this modest display case, we hope to celebrate the work of our faculty."

The College staff will continually update the display as new scholarly works are published. "We always wanted to showcase the faculty in our College, but we were limited in what we could do with only bulletin boards," said Peggy Haycraft, the staff person who spearheaded the drive for the new exhibit.  "We are very pleased that our faculty's books can now be prominently displayed outside the Dean's office."

College faculty are encouraged to inform their chairs as soon as their publications are released so that these works can then be placed on display as representative of the department’s work. "I’m on a focused campaign to foreground the value and centrality of the Arts and Sciences," said Dean Olson, "and the books and other publications of our faculty are tangible manifestations of the value of what we do."
