Collaborating to transform undergraduate research
Evolving modes of scholarly practice in the digital age
March 14–16, 2018
Reed College

Students must master discipline-specific context, methods, and tools to succeed as scholars, a complex endeavor that requires multifaceted support throughout their undergraduate education. This two-day workshop will bring together faculty, librarians, and instructional technologists to share collaborative strategies for cultivating student engagement with data and digital resources.
