SUNY Potsdam a pilot site for new interdisciplinary studies honor society

Posted

POTSDAM -- The Association for Integrative Studies has invited SUNY Potsdam to serve as one of 12 college and university pilot charter chapters for a new national honor society in undergraduate interdisciplinary studies.

SUNY Potsdam will be among those institutions to field test the mission statement, bylaws and selection criteria being developed by the association's national steering committee. Other colleges in the program include Baylor University, Michigan State University, Holy Cross College, and Miami University of Ohio. The association is the national professional association devoted to promoting interdisciplinary studies, best practice teaching techniques, theoretical models of curriculum development and national standards for interdisciplinary program accreditation.

SUNY Potsdam Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Gerald Lee Ratliff is on the association's national steering committee, which will draft the standards for institutional membership and determine the academic and scholastic criteria for faculty and student membership.
