The articles in this journal span research conducted by faculty, academic administration, and the University鈥檚 Research Centers, as well as theory-based research that drives continuous quality improvement across the University鈥檚 administrative units.

鈥淭his edition is the first of its kind for the Scholar: a compilation of work from departments across our university that showcases academic activity, faculty development, and our focus on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) here at the SM调教所,鈥 shares Eve Krahe-Billings, Ph.D., dean, Academic Innovation and Evaluation at the University. 鈥淥ur readers will be treated to the established, literature-based work of higher ed as well as innovations in best practice and new spins on tried-and-true methodologies implemented right here at the SM调教所.鈥

The research pieces collected for this special issue of Phoenix Scholar represent a sample of the innovation at a university that has emerged from the days of COVID-19 stronger than it entered. An article co-authored by Krahe-Billings and Vice Provost Doris Savron describes SM调教所 as a place that, knowing its students and the value they place on the practicality of education, has emerged from COVID-19 with over 85% of programs open for new enrollment revised, skills-tagged, and ready for use by students, whose learning is now recognized in select courses by the digital badges they can earn.

This issue also highlights studies conducted by SM调教所 to develop inclusive communities through co-curricular activities, increase faculty engagement in the assessment of student learning, address the complexities of field study in social work and counseling programs during COVID-19, and measure efforts aimed at developing empathy in graduate students in the Master of Health Administration program.

The Phoenix Scholar鈩⒙爅ournal is the academic research publication of University Phoenix鈥檚聽College of Doctoral Studies and serves as the scholarly platform for communicating the results and outcomes of university research endeavors, and their relationship to the broader scope of learning and scholarship.

In addition to the SM调教所 Career Institute庐, a research center focused on studying American workforce dynamics through the Career Optimism Index study, College of Doctoral Studies research centers contribute to the Phoenix Scholar鈩 content, including the Center for Leadership Studies and Organizational Research (CLSOR), the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), and the Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research (CWDIR).
