ASSETT Newsletter - February 2023

Have you heard about the ASSETT Innovation Incubator? Maybe you know an A&S faculty member or undergraduate student who participated in the pilot which spanned 2019-22? Or, perhaps you’ve encountered one of the projects generated by a participating interdisciplinary team? Now, you have a chance to participate in the next three-year Innovation Incubator which provides awarded projects with funding and human support spanning a three-year period. Learn more about how to submit an idea to the current cycle of the incubator on our new web pages. Or, join us at a community mixer and informational luncheon on February 15, 2023.

Next week (February 13-17) is International Love Data Week (#LoveData23), which is about “inspiring our community to use data to bring about changes that matter.” This is a great time to think about how you can use data to better understand and assess your teaching practices and/or the classroom learning environment, and potentially make changes based on what you learn.
