CUE CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND RFP (PLEASE DISTRIBUTE BROADLY)

Ideally, undergraduate education should be a transformative experience for students.  Research suggests that high impact pedagogies (such as writing across the curriculum, undergraduate research, learning communities, and study abroad) enhance an undergraduate student's overall engagement and, consequently, their chances for success. Among the positive results that are associated with high impact practices are higher rates of student-faculty interaction, deeper approaches to learning, enhanced critical thinking ability, improved writing skills, greater appreciation for diversity, and persistence. Collaborations between academic and student affairs, experiences with community-based partners, and collaborative programming across units also enhances transformational learning.

This year’s CUE conference features strategies that promote transformational learning.  Join us as we celebrate a CUNYVerse of Innovations that can be replicated on your own campus.
