Hitt provided opening remarks and underscored the importance of the institute and the connection between robust undergraduate research programs and exceptional student academic experiences. He said: \u201cRegardless of how your institution seeks to grow its excellence and opportunities in undergraduate research, you are in the right place for pursuing results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Action-oriented sessions focused on strategic planning, assessment, budget and marketing. Speakers included Schneider; Michael Aldarondo-Jeffries, director of Academic Advancement Programs in UCF\u2019s Division of Teaching and Learning; psychology Professor Gerry Gonzalez of California State 海角直播 San Marcos;\u00a0Sandy Gregerman, special counsel, Undergraduate Research and Student Access Initiatives at the 海角直播 of Michigan; and Mary Crowe, assistant provost of experiential learning at Florida Southern College.<\/p>\n

Programs, like CUR, spark the ideas that enhance teaching and learning and professional and academic development for faculty members and students.\u201d<\/p>\n
