Core & New work:

Vlad, Ruth, Ann, and Dorothy facilitated information sessions, a new writing workshop, and one-on-one meetings to support the proposal writing process. The number of approved proposals (29) doubled from the previous year.

​

In the spring, Ruth, Ann, and Dorothy revised the IC application towards making it more accessible, and Dorothy designed a survey for IC alums, which will be distributed in 2019-20.

​

As the director of undergraduate studies for ICs, Peggy met with the IC seniors for optional monthly meetings and encouraged seniors to design an electronic portfolio of their accomplishments and reflections. All IC seniors must design a one-semester capstone project or do a two-semester thesis eligible for honors; they are required to present their work at a roundtable discussion or poster session during Theories in Action.
