Nationally known scholars to hold forum on undergraduate research at SUNY Potsdam at 4 p.m.

Posted

POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam’s guest author series hosts an open campus forum from 4 to 6 p.m. April 12 in the Raymond Hall 8th floor dining room featuring nationally known scholars Mary K. Boyd and Jodi L. Wesemann, authors of "Broadening Participation in Undergraduate Research: Fostering Excellence and Enhancing the Impact."

The series, funded by a five-year $1.6 million dollar Title III Strengthening Institutions Grant Award from the U.S. Department of Education to promote undergraduate research across the curriculum, is a “significant opportunity for the campus community to explore national role models in pedagogy and curriculum design that help to promote undergraduate research,” said Project Director Gerald Lee Ratliff.

Boyd, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at San Diego University, advocates undergraduate research. Wesemann, assistant director for higher education at the American Chemical Society, acts in behalf of the ACS to help students identify resources for undergraduate research.

The forum is open to the community and free.

A few complimentary copies of the authors' book are available for interested participants. For more information, contact Ratliff at 267-2107 or ratlifgl@potsdam.edu.
