In an era of significant global challenges, the call for transformative research and practice has never been more urgent. The Fall 2024 edition of ۴ý Scholar delves into the advancements reshaping our understanding of the world and fostering innovative solutions.

The articles featured in this edition highlight the capacity of research to inspire positive change, showcasing discoveries and social interventions. We examine the interplay between theory and practice, exploring how inquiries can inform effective actions and how those actions, in turn, can influence research.

Key themes include transformative research in Artificial Intelligence and education, healthcare, business, and employee wellness. Highlighted topics include implementing transformative strategies to support and retain students and faculty in higher education, cultivating student career readiness, and enhancing online education. Additionally, we delve into transformative inquiry as a means to nurture human potential and reshape contemporary organizational leadership.
