The Sustainable Classroom
Wednesday, April 19
11:45 - 1:15
Black Room, Buntrock Ballroom
Julie Legler, MSCS and Center for Interdisciplinary Research Solveig Zempel, Associate Dean for IGS
In today's academy, faculty increasingly do research with students. At St. Olaf, we have a long tradition of this collaborative work, but we are also seeking ways to do more. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CIR) has supported many faculty-student projects. Led by Julie Legler, the CIR brings together undergraduate students, statistics faculty, and faculty from other disciplines to share in the excitement and challenge of doing research across traditional academic boundaries. Julie will discuss the work of the CIR, and Associate Dean Solveig Zempel will comment on ways to encourage collaborative student-faculty research in interdisciplinary and humanities disciplines.
