January Symposium

Description

Prior to the start of the semester, January Symposium aims to foster faculty excellence in scholarship by providing time, tools, strategies, and encouragement to advance agendas and passion for scholarship. During the Symposium, faculty can brush up or learn new skills related to research methods, statistical and qualitative tools, or grant acquisition/strategies through one of the various 3-hour workshops, consultation sessions, or through the scholarly writers' lockdown.

Whether a new or seasoned scholar, all full and part-time JMU faculty members are encouraged to attend and learn new skills, share scholarly strategies, and network with colleagues outside their department.
