Information About Targeted Sessions
Targeted sessions will provide an opportunity for discussion and collaboration with other conference participants around areas of mutual interest.
For example, we envision organizing targeted sessions on transfer of knowledge and concepts within/across disciplines, methodologies for data collection and analysis, assessment, and first year courses.
There will also be opportunities for targeted sessions to naturally emerge based upon presentations and discussions. Finally, these sessions will include opportunities for engagement and discussion across STEM disciplines.
