GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP, AND CREATIVITY 2014–2015 Gustavus Adolphus College faculty members are ACTIVE SCHOLARS, RESEARCHERS, and ARTISTS who model intellectual engagement and creative endeavor for colleagues, students, and the greater community. THIS VOLUME IS THE FIFTH BIENNIAL PUBLICATION prepared by the John S. Kendall Center for Engaged Learning celebrating the outstanding work of the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus College in the areas of research, scholarship, and creativity. Two of the Core Values at Gustavus are “excellence” and “community.” The community of scholars here at Gustavus is built around our highly productive faculty, whose vocation centers on offering a liberal arts education of recognized excellence. The evidence for this claim is found in our assessment of student learning as well as our productivity in research, creativity, and scholarship. I am proud to assert regularly that this faculty embodies the highest standards of teaching and scholarship. Our faculty comprises great teachers, who are effective in the classroom in part because they are also extraordinary scholars—whether that scholarship takes the form of analyzing lab or field research data, or whether the scholarship is found in their artistic and creative output. This booklet celebrates the breadth and depth of our faculty accomplishments as scholars, many of which are collaborations with our students.* This student/faculty collaborative research is an important tool for teaching and mentoring our students. Thanks are also due to the staff in the Office of Marketing and Communication for assistance with layout, editing, and photographs, and to Leila Brammer, Kendall Center Faculty Associate for Research, Scholarship, and Creativity, Cathy Blaukat, the Center’s administrative assistant, and the current faculty associates, all of whom serve our faculty very well. Kudos to all, Mark Braun Provost * Colored text throughout indicates faculty/student collaboration.
