COLLEGE OF INNOVATION + DESIGN — Dean’s Report
Vertically Integrated Projects provide a curricular
structure to facilitate students engaging in
authentic research alongside faculty. Faculty are
encouraged to set up VIP courses related to their
scholarly work and then students can enroll in these
courses repeatedly from sophomore year through
graduate school. This enables the students to grow
- both in the research work and in the habits of
mind that enable future success; while also enabling
the faculty to have a team to collaborate with on
their research projects.
VERTICALLY
INTEGRATED
PROJECTS (VIP)
Enabling research experiences for
undergraduate and graduate
students from any discipline that
build technical and workplace
skills in a highly supportive and
inclusive environment.
HIGHLIGHTS
Hosted a successful, first ever VIP showcase for
students to share their work with the campus community.
The Plasma Medicine and Agriculture team secured
a $478,500 grant from the USDA — the proposal used
preliminary data made possible from the VIP team
and incorporates VIP as a key component of the educational
part of the grant.
