Over the past 25 years, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has had a number of publications celebrating the faculty at CSUSB. The intent always was not just to celebrate the completed achievements, but to bring focus to the developing explorations of our colleagues. A number of scholarly collaborations across departmental and college boundaries that enriched and broadened the research grew “Currents” or “Faculty Forum” or “Tel-A-Grant” in earlier days. With greater campus encouragement of faculty scholarship and creative activities represented by the Office of the Associate Provost for Research, it was clear that we needed to resume publication. We will continue the spirit of the earlier efforts, but will broaden and improve the product. We wish to expand our collective knowledge of the creative achievements of our faculty, to proclaim their funding awards supporting their work, and to remind us all that scholars rarely rest on their laurels -- that there is always new creative work being planned or being launched. We all hope you enjoy the information, the format, and want to see more.
