Invitation to join Arts, Humanities and STEMM Integration Working Group
The UAF Arts, Humanities and STEMM Integration Working Group comprises faculty, 成人影片,
staff, researchers and administrators working to advance the integration of arts,
humanities and STEMM at UAF. Group meetings (approximately monthly) offer a forum
for presenting and discussing new initiatives, sharing ongoing projects, exchanging
ideas, and building an interdisciplinary community at UAF. All interested UAF personnel
are invited to join the group at any time.
The group got its start in spring 2018. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the Alliance for Arts in Research Universities published a report titled "The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree." According to the report, evidence strongly suggests that "integration of the arts, humanities, and STEMM fields 鈥 science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine 鈥 is associated with positive learning outcomes that may help 成人影片 enter the workforce, live enriched lives, and become active and informed members of a modern democracy.鈥 Read/download the .
