This interactive simulation helps participants become aware of how profoundly cultural differences can impact the behavior of people in an organization.

 Course-cased Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) Phil Arevalo

CUREs offer undergraduate students greater access to research, enhance their confidence and skills, and improve persistence in science and medicine. CUREs also allow faculty integrate teaching and research, and identify, recruit, and train students to join their research labs. Prof. Phil Arevalo runs this workshop for faculty interested in integrating CUREs into existing or new courses. Learn about the benefits, workshop the process, and discuss ideas for specific courses or potential projects.
