Join us at the Transforming Institutions Conference.
NSEC is co-hosting the Transforming Institutions Conference with ASCN, which is June 12-13, 2023 in Minneapolis. We encourage STEM education center directors and staff and the broader NSEC community to submit proposals to this biannual national conference. It has been a long time since we have had the chance to gather together to share our work and learn from one another. The TI Conference brings together researchers, practitioners, change agents, center staff and directors, university leadership, and policymakers to focus on transforming undergraduate education. Participants will have the opportunity to identify critical questions facing institutional change, foster connections with colleagues interested in change, and address important topics related to transforming institutions in higher education.

Center Roles in Undergraduate STEM Education: A Guide for Self-Evaluation
We are excited to share the Center Roles in Undergraduate STEM Education: A Guide for Self-Evaluation with the NSEC community! This publication provides a guide for STEM Education Centers (SECs) and Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) to carry out a self-assessment process focusing on their roles in undergraduate STEM education. The guide and The Model for Center Practices in Undergraduate STEM Education developed and authored by Dr. Deborah Carlisle, is informed by research carried out at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, as part of an APLU and NSF-funded project for NSEC by Dr. Gabriela C. Weaver and Dr. Deborah L. Carlisle. As part of the culmination of this research, we offer this guide to support the NSEC community, and the center community broadly, in their mission to improve undergraduate education.
