Abstract

As part of its efforts toward enhancing collaborative student-faculty scholarship, CUR has established a series of workshops focused on issues of concern to faculty involved in research with undergraduates. Two of those workshops will be presented in the coming year: "Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research" will be held at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse at the end of October 1999; and "The Vital Faculty: Issues after Tenure" will be held at the College of William and Mary in mid-February 2000.
