Crossing Boundaries—Transforming STEM Education
A Network for Academic Renewal Conference
November 12-14, 2015
Seattle, Washington
Proposals Due March 18, 2015
The Association of American Colleges and Universities and
Project Kaleidoscope are pleased to announce their Call for Proposals for the 2015 AAC&U conference
Crossing Boundaries—Transforming STEM Education. Proposals are invited and encouraged to showcase evidence-based practices that reflect any of the themes below, and that can be adapted readily
to a wide range of institution types, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions.
We look forward to your proposals in the context of the four themes listed below.
Theme I: Integrative Undergraduate STEM Teaching and Learning
This theme invites proposals for sessions that describe cross-disciplinary, innovative approaches for enhancing undergraduate STEM learning. Proposals should represent research and/or practices from any disciplines that focus on achieving core STEM learning
outcomes and/or development of research skills.
Theme II: Inclusive Excellence/Broadening Participation in STEM Higher Education
This theme invites proposals for sessions that highlight theory driven models and innovations directed toward the recruitment, retention, and persistence of students from historically underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines. A focus on the career advancement
of underrepresented STEM faculty is also appropriate.
Theme III: Supporting, Rewarding, and Building Capacity of STEM Faculty
This theme will focus on specific faculty development initiatives that are easily transferable to a diverse group of faculty and/or diverse institutions of higher education. Proposals that emphasize innovative reward systems for STEM faculty are encouraged,
including rewards for work in online, hybrid, or blended venues.
Theme IV: Institutional Transformation for Undergraduate STEM Education Reform
This theme invites proposals for sessions related to campus-wide institutional change efforts designed to achieve undergraduate STEM education transformation for both faculty and students. Proposals addressing how college is training K-12 STEM teachers to
prepare students for college STEM courses and curricula are encouraged.
