Call for Participation

The Thomas G. Carpenter Library’s annual Showcase of Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity is dedicated to the presentation of faculty scholarly and creative activities, including books, journal articles, artwork, performances, and more.  As part of UNF’s Research Week, the Showcase will feature faculty from a range of disciplines, celebrating their advancements in knowledge, teaching, and creativity.  The goal of the Showcase is to expose the university community to the breadth of faculty research and increase student awareness of the importance of these endeavors. 

The Showcase is one of several events held during UNF’s Research Week. 

UNF faculty are invited to submit scholarly and creative works to be included in the Showcase of Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity.
