• Dr. Richard Kopec, Professor of School of Natural Sciences, will share how he is facilitating undergraduate research in STEM.
• Jason Rosenblum, Assistant Professor of School of Management and Business, will share how he taught an “all-digital Capstone” course,  incorporating digital strategies to help students manage the process to find research materials, store bookmarks and maintain a digital research file.
