SUMMARY:CUR Conversation: The Fundamentals of Vertically Integrated Projects
DESCRIPTION:Vertically integrated projects (VIPs) compose a large-scale\, long-term\, team-based\, multidisciplinary\, for-credit model for undergraduate research\, scholarship\, and creative inquiry. Vertical integration refers to team composition\, which includes undergraduates of different years in school. Adoption of the VIP model continues to increase\, driven by the desire to scale up high-impact practices and by evidence of success with equity\, leadership growth\, job placement gains\, and collaboration across disciplinary lines. \nJoin Dr. Edward Coyle from the Georgia Institute of Technology as he shares the history\, essential elements\, and future of the VIP model.

SUMMARY:CUR Conversation: Undergraduate Research and the Public Humanities
DESCRIPTION:What are the unique opportunities and challenges for combining undergraduate research with public engagement? How can institutional archives (and archivists) support undergraduate research more effectively? What are the best practices for working with community-based partners? And how can colleges institutionalize support for public humanities research? \nBetween 2019 and 2024\, the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) funded 49 campus projects that combined undergraduate research and public-facing humanities activities. Join the authors of Humanities Research for the Public Good [publication found here: www.cic.edu/public-humanities] and two project team members for a conversation about lessons learned from this initiative. \nPanelists: Meredith Clark-Wiltz (Franklin College)\, Philip M. Katz (CIC)\, Peter Powers (Messiah University)\, and Anne M. Valk (CUNY Graduate Center) \nRegister here >>
