The STEM Education Innovations Virtual Community of Practice (VCoP) offers faculty and staff unprecedented opportunities to collaborate, develop, and implement programs in which undergraduates conduct authentic research, even as freshmen, through both course-embedded research experiences (CUREs) and faculty-mentored individual research – resulting in greater academic success and a likelihood students will persist in their endeavors to become STEM professionals.  To join the collaboration, use the Request Membership tab.
