Faculty/Staff Scholarship & Creative Achievements (SCA)

The scholarship and creative achievements accomplished by UW-Whitewater's faculty and staff during the previous academic year are recognized annually by Academic Affairs and the University Libraries. The purpose of the recognition is twofold:

• to promote a free exchange of ideas;
• to encourage and stimulate further research and creative activity.

The 36th annual Scholarship & Creative Achievement recognition is for achievements accomplished between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Questions? Please contact: Diana Shull.
