Topic: An Undergraduate Path from Questions to Conferences: Exploration of High-Impact Practice (HIP) Undergraduate Research in the Classroom and Beyond
Speaker: Ralph Hale
Scholarship is a defining pillar of academia, aiming to gain knowledge and understanding that can be shared with scientific peers, students, and the general public. In this program we will discuss how undergraduate students can get involved in research, a High-Impact Practice (HIP) recognized by the AAC&U. In the classroom, students can turn research questions into empirical designs capable of collecting data to test hypotheses. They then can analyze and interpret results within the context of the larger field and literature. Dissemination of findings can occur inside the classroom and beyond through oral presentation, research posters, conferences, manuscript drafting, and publication. Successful implementation across a range of student expertise levels will be discussed.

Engaging Pedagogy Exchange (EPX) — formally known as Research-Based Teaching Series (RBTS) — seeks to support the work of faculty from all disciplines, colleges, and campuses by offering faculty presentations and workshops on best practices in teaching and learning. These workshops not only provide information and resources for faculty seeking to enhance their own pedagogical practices, but also give faculty an opportunity to present their work to peers. All sessions will be live on Zoom and video-recorded for archival purposes.

Volunteer Fair (GVL)

,

Gainesville | Nesbitt 3110 AB
Faculty/Staff Preview | 10 – 11 a.m
Volunteer Fair Main Event | 11 – 2 p.m.

The Volunteer Fair advances UNG’s mission of community engagement by inviting community organizations to campus, introducing them to a sizable pool of potential volunteers. Each year, the Volunteer Fair attracts more than 500 students from the Gainesville Campus!

This year,  a faculty/staff “preview” hour is from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. We encourage any faculty thinking of incorporating a service-learning component into their courses to come during this preview to explore possibilities with our community partners. Of course, all faculty and staff members are more than welcome to attend during the “main event” as well, which will take place from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

The Volunteer Fair:
– Encourages our students to seek out experiential learning opportunities through service-learning, internships, and volunteering.
– Facilitates community partners for faculty members as they develop experiential elements in their courses.
– Provides knowledge, awareness, and institutional contact for the campus community and those in need of the services offered by community agencies.
– Promotes interagency relations among participating community organizations.
– Contributes to the expansion of the economic impact of UNG in the community by availing participating agencies innumerable volunteer hours provided by our students.
– Advances UNG’s institutional goal of civic engagement.
