The interdisciplinary workshop will provide information on how to recognize the culture of specialized values, practices, and terms that mark specific disciplines that will in turn allow participants to understand the inherent challenges of collaborating across disciplines. Participants will also be made aware of basic strategies for overcoming communication hurdles in diverse groups.
Research in Undergraduate Instruction:
The research in undergraduate instruction workshop will provide participants with knowledge regarding the academic and personal scheduling demands of undergraduates and faculty at an HSI PUI. Participants will also create and critique research projects that are scalable to the resource available, making sure that said projects align with student academic careers while balancing student expectations and faculty professional (RTP) demands.
