Cases online - this is a great resource to engage students in the sciences
CASES (Creating Active Student Engagement in the Sciences) Online is a collection of investigative lessons, or "cases," for K-12 and undergraduate science education. Using principles of Problem-Based Learning and Investigative Case-Based Learning (and related student-centered pedagogies), our cases are designed to engage students in exploring the science behind real-world problems. Our cases address a variety of learning objectives across the sciences and mathematics. Although our K-12 cases were designed for use in Georgia and meet our state education standards, we have also included the relevant National Science Education Standards.

Hosted by The College of New Jersey
June 23-26, 2012
Hosted by The College of New Jersey
Leveraging Uncertainty: Toward a New Generation of Undergraduate Research
In current crises of economic viability, urban decline, environmental degradation, and cultural meaning, we face deep and broad-based concerns, both for personal prospects and larger social contracts. We can be swept along by those changes, or we can use them as opportunities for positive transformation. We know that research must inform our responses to these new conditions. And we know that undergraduate research offers experiences and skills that our students can draw on for successful future study, meaningful work lives, and social engagement. This conference will ask us to consider new models of undergraduate research that create possibilities where others might see peril.
The subthemes for the 2012 CUR National Conference are as follows:
The subthemes for the 2012 CUR National Conference are as follows:

Program description:
Scholarship Awards: This scholarship opportunity is afforded to Latino students who have a history of performing public service-oriented activities in their communities and who plan to continue contributing in the future. There is no GPA or major requirement. Students with excellent leadership potential are encouraged to apply. Recipients will receive a one-time scholarship of: $5,000 to attend a graduate-level academic institution; $2,500 to attend a four-year academic institution; or $1,000 to attend a community college or AA/AS granting institution. Undergraduate recipients will also receive a DELL Notebook Computer and Microsoft Package. The institute will be responsible for managing the disbursement of the scholarship monies to the recipients. In a two-fold effort to monitor the progress of scholarship recipients and promote college retention, total scholarship monies will be equally divided and distributed on a yearly basis as long as recipients maintain good academic standing (i.e. if the scholarship is received as an entering freshman, the $2,500 award will be distributed in 4 equal installments of $625 a year). Scholarship awards are designed to cover tuition, room and board, textbooks, and other educational expenses associated with college enrollment.
Congressional Internship Program: This program provides college students with Congressional placements on Capitol Hill for a summer period of eight weeks (June to August) and a winter period of twelve weeks (January to April) to learn first-hand about the U.S.'s legislative processes.
