Pints and PIE: Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities (RSCA) as a High Impact Teaching Practice

The 2022 State of California’s Blueprint for Higher Education and the SF State 2023 Strategic Plan have established goals to ensure that all students participate in at least one transformative educational experience or high impact practice to prepare them with the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed.  Undergraduate RSCA is one of the high impact practices that has been shown to increase student success and employability in the workforce.  The goals for this workshop are to: 

• Learn and share strategies for incorporating undergraduate students into your own RSCA. 
• Discuss ways to incorporate research experiences and creative activities into your courses (CURES – Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences) 
• Engage with SF State CREATE – the new hub for student RSCA opportunities on campus. 
• Build community for faculty currently working with undergrads on RSCA and those who might be interested in getting started.
