Tim Elgren
Tim Elgren, professor of chemistry, presented an invited plenary lecture at the 4th Annual Conference on Applied Learning in Higher Education, held at Missouri Western State University on Feb. 21. The title of his plenary was "Integrating Applied Learning: Forging Direct Links to the Curriculum." He also led a break-out session titled "Research as Teaching: The Teaching of Research."

The conference brought together faculty and administrators from a wide range of institutions to consider successful models for incorporating service learning, civic engagement, and undergraduate research experiences for undergraduates. Elgren is the former president of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) and co-edited "Developing & Sustaining a Research Supportive Curriculum: A Compendium of Successful Practices" for CUR in 2007. He is currently working with SENCER (Science Education for New Civic Engagement and Responsibility) to develop laboratory and course materials that provide students exposure to the interface of science, civic engagement and public policy.
