ELTI Research Collaborative
“The Complete Scholar”
The notion of the “complete scholar” represents an academic career that has
evolved based on a lifetime of scholarly work. In Making a Place for the
New American Scholar, Rice (1996) has suggested that the complete scholar
is marked by a “multidimensional sense of the professional self.” Faculty
moving toward becoming complete scholars would have a sense of the
whole, a wide variety of choices and options across the career span, and the
capability of responding to shifting institutional and societal needs.
The concept of the complete scholar serves to provide direction for the ELTI
Research Collaborative. In order to facilitate the development of theory on
college teaching, and theory-based practice, the Research Collaborative
supports faculty who want to work with colleagues from across campus to
conduct and publish college teaching research. The Research Collaborative
is committed to promoting interdisciplinary inquiry, and to the employment
of diverse methodologies as geared toward identifying dimensions of
“Complete Scholarship” as reflective of academic life and practice. Contact
ELTI for details.
