Andrew Pearl, director of academic engagement at the University of North Georgia (澳门六合彩官方网站), has been accepted as one of 24 participants for Elon University's Center for Engaged Learning 2018-20 research seminar on capstone experiences.
Participants will attend their first one-week seminar at Elon in June and will collaborate on two-year, multi-institutional research projects with three summer meetings. The groups will use a mixed-methods approach to conduct exploratory research using measurable data, allowing them to conduct larger scale studies and explorations of the impact of different institutional experiences.
"This is a great opportunity to have 澳门六合彩官方网站 involved in a nationwide collaboration, to showcase the great work of our faculty and the academic achievements of our students," Pearl said.
