Description: Research to address complex societal issues requires teams of people with a variety of skills, expertise, and ways of knowing to work in collaboration with one another. Courses and programs are emerging across the globe to foster the knowledge required to connect people and ideas, convene teams to address complex problems, and converge around critical challenges. This panel will present three different efforts to develop collaboration skills in the classroom that are needed for effective team research engagement while also addressing employers’ most sought-after employee competency requirements. Panelists will discuss specific examples of both undergraduate and graduate classes, participate in a self-moderated panel discussion, and foster a broader conversation with session participants.

We encourage participants to bring their own tools, resources and ideas to discuss with the group so we can create a folder of shared resources.

Panelists

• Vicky Klima - Appalachian State University

• Katie Plaisance - University of Waterloo

• Pips Veazey - University of Maine
