CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY CHANNEL ISLANDS Faculty Accomplishments 2004 The Cal State Channel Islands mission statement declares that the University “…facilitates learning within and across disciplines.” An essential element in facilitating learning is the dissemination of the results of scholarly and creative activities to the campus community, to our students, and to the greater academic and general community. In support of the University’s mission, the faculty members of CSUCI are active teacher/scholars. Since the founding of the University in mid 2001, faculty members have been performing scholarly research and creative/artistic endeavors. They have disseminated the results of their scholarly/creative activities in a variety of modes and forums: exhibits, presentations, speeches, and publications. This booklet is the second edition of an annual summary of the principal scholarly/creative activities of faculty members. The work described was performed through August 2004. This summary demonstrates an engaged and active faculty. In addition to teaching classes and contributing to the ongoing development of our new University, faculty members have continued their scholarly/creative work. The work of the faculty is recognized as an essential element for our students’ success. The scope and quality of their continuing scholarly/creative work contributes to the excellence of our learning environment.
