AAU Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative: May 1, 2020 Virtual Meeting Report
Association of American Universities
Association of American Universities (AAU) has been active in institutional and national discussions to help address critical challenges facing research universities in light of COVID-19. On May 1, 2020, AAU hosted a virtual meeting of the campus liaisons for the Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative, The intention of the virtual meeting was to discuss issues specific to undergraduate teaching and learning as campuses look to resume their education and research activities in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. It provided a platform for participants to share information with each other and with AAU staff. The convening included representation from 29 AAU member institutions and engaged a group of 41 individuals comprised of institutional representatives, AAU staff, and AAU STEM Education Initiative project team members. Many of the AAU STEM Initiative liaisons, who are leaders in campus undergraduate education reform efforts, have been instrumental to their universities' rapid transition to remote instruction during the spring 2020 term. This report summarizes the information and key themes that emerged from the two hour-long conversation.
