Professor Chester Robinson and Professor Jae- Young Ko attended the closing ceremony and reception of the JSU Academy for Research and Scholarly Engagement on April 17, 2015. The JSU Center for University Scholars and the Division of Research and Federal Relations have been operating a year-long training program of research proposal development for the JSU faculty members. Since its beginning in 2012, the program has trained 76 JSU scholars, and about 30 proposals were developed and submitted from the faculty members attending the training program for the first two years, generating external fundings of approximately $950,000. Professor Robinson and Professor Ko are among the twenty-three faculty members of Research Cohort III for 2014-2015. They have completed the training program actively and have been developing proposals for external funding opportunities using the knowledges gained from the training program.
