This is part of the community-driven effort that is part of the Academic Innovation Initiative.

Dr. Andrea Beach will discuss “Systemic Approaches to Facilitating Undergraduate STEM Change” in this brown bag lunch event. Beach is a professor of educational leadership in higher education at Western Michigan University and the co-director of the Center for Research Institutional Change in Postsecondary Education (CRICPE).

This event is part of the “Foundational Courses in STEM; Lessons Learned, Future Directions: REBUILD Seminar Series.” REBUILD is an Inter-departmental committee of faculty members representing the LSA departments of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Math and Physics; the School of Education; and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. They are working to transform U-M into an environment that supports STEM faculty in improving recruitment, retention and learning outcomes for all students by increasing the use of evidence-based teaching methods.
