Undergraduate Student-Initiated Education provides a select group of juniors and seniors in the College with the opportunity to develop and facilitate, under close faculty supervision, a lower division seminar for their peers. This program refreshes our undergraduate curriculum, gives students a more active role in their education, prepares them to become teacher-researchers, and deepens their knowledge of topics. This event will allow students and faculty to converse in depth about the opportunities and risks of taking initiatives as learners and connecting personal interests with the methods of scholarly inquiry through the USIE program.

Sponsors: Faculty Student Advisory Committee for Undergraduate Student-Initiated Education, Undergraduate Education Initiatives, and the Undergraduate Students Association.
