The Center for Faculty innovation (CFI) respects the diversity of scholarship that JMU faculty engage in and seeks to be responsive to that diversity by offering inclusive, evidence-based enrichment opportunities. Scholarship Programs intend to create a vibrant, scholarly community engaged in mindful, scholarly pursuits, both individually and collectively. Respecting the diversity of scholarship that JMU faculty engage in, the CFI Scholarship Area aims to foster inclusive communities that enhance scholarly productivity through high impact practices. Programs are offered during the academic year and over the summer to meet the changing needs of faculty. The scholarship outcomes that follow are achieved through flexible and attuned programmatic offerings.

Dayna Henry is the assistant director who oversees the scholarship area. She may be reached at henryds@jmu.edu. Click here to learn more about her background and interests.
