Project Outcomes

Faculty and staff at ACM colleges have designed and led a remarkable range of collaborative projects with the support of ACM grant-funded programs.

Through workshops and conferences, research groups, and seminars, their collective efforts have created a wealth of curricular materials, assessment tools, and best practices. The results of these projects are a valuable resource for the ACM colleges — and the higher education community in general — as well as a springboard for further collaboration among faculty.

• The Faculty Career Enhancement (FaCE) Program from 2014 to the present
• Seminars in Advanced Interdisciplinary Learning (SAIL)
• Enhancing the Midwest Knowledge Ecosystem (EMKE)
