Faculty Research Grants and Creative Activity

All full-time Art faculty are expected to be both current and active in their respective disciplines. The Department of Art observes the same ARTP criteria as the University and College, ranking scholarly and creative activity directly after teaching effectiveness in all evaluations of full-time faculty. Our part-time faculty, although evaluated and ranked only on the basis of their teaching effectiveness at CSUS, also have excellent reputations as artists and scholars. As is the case with full-time faculty, their active involvement in their profession enhances their skill as teachers and mentors.

The members of the full-time Art faculty have established reputations as scholars and/or artists at the regional, national, and even international level. A complete list of all of our professional activities in the past five years, extracted from the curriculum vitae in the electronic appendix, would fill several pages. Following is a summary of the more significant recent accomplishments of the full-time faculty between 1999-2004:
