Click here to view the Oct 11th INTEREACH webinar, with Dr. Pips Veazey, Director of the UMaine Portland Gateway. This webinar explores boundary spanning in the specific context of the challenge to leverage regional and state possibilities and partnerships to maximize impact and reimagine the future of research universities. Dr. Veazey frames the discussion around the idea that many of us have served on large interdisciplinary research teams as facilitators, leaders, brokers and integrators. We synthesize information, refine tools and develop new approaches to enhance the effectiveness of these teams that are composed of people in pursuit of new disciplines, new ways of organizing information and new ways of seeing the world. What if we were asked to expand our frame of reference from an interdisciplinary research team to a statewide university system? How do we capitalize on team science leadership and management expertise to enhance the effectiveness of a university system? How might we as team science experts envision the future of higher education? This webinar includes an interactive discussion exploring the power of our collective experiences to change the future of higher education and the relationship between traditional university research systems and the communities in which they reside.
