New resources on undergraduate research experiences
AACC has released four Stakeholder Engagement One-Pagers coming out of the Community College Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) Summit, which was held last fall. In April, AACC released the Community College URE Summit Proceedings Report. In response to suggestions from URE Summit participants, AACC also has developed the one-pagers targeted to faculty, administrators, students and partners. The documents are designed to assist stakeholders in their discussion, consideration and implementation of undergraduate research experiences at community colleges.
