Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity   Tags: faculty, library, scholarship, staff  

The Reception for the 2012 Celebration of Scholarship & Creative Activity will be held on Tuesday, February 7, 2012. It will begin at 5:00pm and end at 7:00pm. All faculty and staff are welcome to come anytime during these two hours; no RSVP required.

This year the Reception will be scaled down with no featured speaker or set agenda.

Hors d'oeuvres, wine, and collegial conversation will be the carte du jour

Thanks to all of the 72 faculty members who contributed items for the 2012 Celebration. We had 189 items on display throughout the month of February.

Be sure to visit the Photos page to see pictures from the Reception.

Faculty and staff who have written, performed, or created anything (especially if it was published) during the last year are encouraged to contribute those items to the exhibit. If the item is a major contribution to your discipline, it can be from the last two or three years. If you are new to Butler and have never had any items in the Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity, you may contribute up to ten items regardless of year.

To contribute materials:

• Send through campus mail or hand deliver to Scott Pfitzinger, Irwin Library Information Commons (IL-130).
• Electronic submissions (PDFs) will also be accepted with completed electronic versions of the Submission Form.
• Submit between December 1, 2011 and January 20, 2012.
• Each item must be accompanied by a completed Submission Form (use either of the attached files below). 
• All items submitted to the exhibit will be returned via campus mail at the end of the exhibit (Feb. 29) unless other arrangements have been made.

Examples of scholarship and creativity:

• Anything that might be included in a tenure review
• Books/Textbooks that you have authored, edited, illustrated, or contributed to in some way
• Book chapters
• Journal articles
• CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, audio cassettes, or photographs of performances, choreography, directing, etc.
• Various works of art, including costumes, paintings, sculptures, etc.
• Programs or program notes for which you are a conference presenter, performer, writer, speaker, contributor, or artistic staff member
• Musical scores you have composed, published, or edited

Note: Materials or works done as part of one's regular Butler teaching load are discouraged because the focus in this exhibit is on works done outside Butler's requirements.
