Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Advisory Council
The SJSU Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (RSCA) Advisory Council provides strategic vision to advance the state of research, scholarship, and creative activities at San José State University. The RSCA Advisory Council advises the Associate Vice President for Research (AVPR), providing feedback and suggestions on RSCA-related initiatives, policies, and procedures.
