Please note: The following information is subject to change due to the
regional nature of the upcoming workshops.
This workshop will bring together teams of three to
five faculty members and administrators from institutions that are interested
either in initiating an undergraduate research program or in institutionalizing
existing research activities.
The three days will consist
of plenary lectures presented by facilitators associated with CUR interspersed
with individual team meetings with CUR mentors. The
teams will begin the workshop by meeting with their facilitator and reflecting
on the current status of undergraduate research on their campuses.
This inventory will include the examination of institutional strengths,
as well as the obstacles currently preventing achievement of desired results.
After this assessment, the teams will begin formulating mission
statements, goals, and action plans for their own institutions.
The event will conclude with the teams discussing their plans with the
entire community.
Throughout this process, the facilitators will be engaged with the teams
in order to assist them in discussions and deliberations.
Teams
typically consist of at least one academic administrator, one or more department
chairs, and several interested faculty members.
The Institute is open to academics from all fields.
