As a new faculty member at JMU in in 2019, I was immediately drawn to the support and services that CFI offered (e.g., New Faculty Academy). I participated in the Engaged Teacher-Scholar program and benefited greatly both as a teacher and scholar from the program’s activities. Ultimately, I saw the mission of CFI – “collaborating to create opportunities for professional growth and innovation” – reflected in my experience and wanted to serve along in that mission.
