Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities

About RSCA

Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities (RSCA) is a vital part of our University. When faculty get the opportunity to engage in creative activities, they flourish, which in turn translates to our students’ success. We celebrate your accomplishments as a member of our faculty.  

RSCA is supported by the CSU Chancellor’s Office and SFSU’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. The support of RSCA activities is essential for recruiting, promoting and retaining an inclusive body of faculty. Moreover, the equitable and inclusive opportunities to engage in RSCA align with SFSU's commitment to social justice by supporting the success and professional development of historically underrepresented faculty. Shared community resources, skill development and open conversations stemming from participating in civic engagement and research-based activities help create new knowledge. Nourishing both professional and intellectual achievements across a broad range of activities, participation in RSCA puts into practice the University’s core value, life of the mind, by continuously pursuing knowledge in search of meaning, purpose and intellectual commitment.
