SUMMARY:CUR Conversation: Incorporating Entrepreneurial Minded Learning as UR Mentors
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurially minded learning can help support your undergraduate research students. Our resources\, developed through the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN)\, are geared toward accelerating student research productivity through videos\, activities\, workshops\, and a student-driven certificate program. \nThe materials support students at a variety of levels\, from introductory material for first-year students (covering topics such as how to get involved in undergraduate research and find a mentor) to skill development for students already involved in research programs (covering topics such as literature reviews\, abstract development\, conceptual understanding of a research project\, data visualization\, and research dissemination). \nThe materials are flexible\, with short videos and activities that could be used to promote undergraduate research in courses or orientation activities\, as well as instructor guides and slides for 60-minute stand-alone workshops. \nPanelists: Irene Reizman (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology)\, Liping Liu (Lawrence Technological University)\, and Cassandra Jamison (Rowan University) \nRegister here >>

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 >>

SUMMARY:CUR Conversation: Teacher Research Thinking and ‘reasoning’ AI
DESCRIPTION:Preservice and in-service teacher thinking risks being outsourced to ‘reasoning’ models of AI (e.g. Open AI 3.0 mini and Deep Seek). Simultaneously\, the same risk is true for the thinking of the school students they teach. This webinar provides ways to manage this risk through conceptualization and practice about facilitating rich research thinking\, using examples from the open-access Springer book ‘Research Thinking for Responsive Teaching’. \nThe webinar overviews the book’s fluid characteristics of teachers’ research thinking\, providing a conceptual framing that may guide what we as educators can do to maximize the benefits of ‘reasoning AI’\, and minimize its risks. Chapters 2 to 8 use the Research Skill Development framework\, adapted to each context\, to guide teacher research thinking.  Chapters 6\, 7 & 8 of the book focus on undergraduate preservice teachers engaging in research (USA)\, digital-rich environments (Australia)\, and with social media (Indonesia)\, and will be featured in the webinar. Teacher research thinking will be presented in the context of recent developments in ‘reasoning’ AI and its consequences for undergraduates. \nRegister here >> \nYou can find the book at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-99-6679-0
