The Association of American Colleges and Universities and Project Kaleidoscope are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the 2016 Conference on
Transforming Undergraduate STEM Education.
AAC&U and Project Kaleidoscope invite you to join with colleagues to share and examine evidence-based models, practices, and strategies to provide high-quality undergraduate STEM
teaching and learning and increase the number of students majoring, completing baccalaureate degrees, and pursuing careers in STEM fields. This year’s conference will deepen our understanding of “what works” in STEM higher education reform and provide attendees
with the opportunity to rethink curricular designs and teaching approaches in ways that will maximize learning.

including community colleges and minority serving institutions, are strongly encouraged.
