Transforming STEM Education: Inquiry, Innovation, Inclusion, and Evidence

A Network for Academic Renewal Conference October 31–November 2, 2013 San Diego, California Register by September 26 for best conference rates.

Transforming STEM Education: Inquiry, Innovation, Inclusion, and Evidence will bring together forward-thinking STEM faculty and academic leaders from all sectors of higher education to share innovations, evidence, and practical strategies for succeeding in the dual STEM challenges of this era:

  • Reversing the dramatic U.S. loss of needed talent in STEM disciplines, using evidence-based practices that increase persistence and achievement for all students, with particular attention to students from underrepresented groups;
  • Ensuring that all STEM graduates build—from the outset of their studies—the multi-disciplinary knowledge, research skills, and mindsets needed to address the complex challenges to be faced in every sphere of society.

This STEM conference is organized by Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL), a catalyst for STEM education reform and inclusive excellence and the STEM leadership center within AAC&U.
