Vandermaas-Peeler presented at the virtual AAC&U Global Learning conference
Maureen Vandermaas-Peeler, director of the Center for Research on Global Engagement and professor of psychology, presented at the virtual AAC&U Global Learning conference with Dawn Whitehead, vice president of the Office of Global Citizenship for Campus, Community and Careers at the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), and three directors of undergraduate research at DIS, Study Abroad in Scandinavia, Susana Dietrich, Jeanette Erbo Wern, and Polina Smiragina-Ingelstrom.
The presentation, entitled “Crafting a successful education abroad research experience: Professional development for mentoring undergraduate research in global contexts (MUR-GC),” features an on-going collaboration between Whitehead and Vandermaas-Peeler, a senior fellow at AAC&U, to study MUR-GC.
The DIS collaborators have written a chapter on their MUR-GC model for a forthcoming CEL open access book on MUR-GC edited by Vandermaas-Peeler and Whitehead.
