There is plenty at CUR 2002 for everyone: administrators, faculty, and
graduate students, particularly those seeking employment at primarily
undergraduate institutions. Administrators will be especially interested
in sessions on assessment and research ethics. Anyone who wants to do
research while working to improve undergraduate education will benefit.
This year for the first time, we will have specific offerings for
persons in the social sciences as well as all the natural sciences,
mathematics, and engineering.
