QEP Café

Before posting your ideas and feedback, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the first drafts of the executive summary and white paper for fostering a culture of scholarship and creative activity at Mason.

When leaving feedback and sharing your ideas, please direct your attention to the questions below. Each question is a link to a page where other members of the Mason community – students, faculty, staff, and administrators – are discussing the same question.

This page has the following sub pages.

• 1) What is currently happening in your program, department, or unit to get students and faculty engaged in scholarly and/or creative activities? How could the QEP strengthen or build upon these activities?
• 2) Have you ever participated in scholarly or creative activities? What were your experiences?
• 3) What concrete activities would you like to see to foster a culture of scholarship and creative activity? (e.g., curricular-based initiatives, individually mentored activities, or co-curricular activities)
• 4) In your eyes, what does the Planning Committee need to address to make this a success?
• 5) What would motivate and/or encourage you to engage in activities that foster scholarship and creative activity? (e.g., exciting opportunities, anticipated constraints, or possible resources and rewards)
• 6) What does scholarship and creative activity mean to you? What could it mean?
