Tradition, Innovation and Creativity: Undergraduate Learning for the 21st Century


Faculty from U.S. research universities came together at the fifth national conference of the Reinvention Center in November 2010 in Crystal City, VA to discuss the critical role of science and technology in the undergraduate curriculum, the continuing need for fine arts and humanities education, and methods of assessing teaching and learning inside and outside our classrooms.

UVP Network



The Reinvention Center UVP network is a national network of Vice Presidents for Undergraduate Education and other senior officials who have campus- or college-wide responsibility for undergraduate education. The network serves as a resource and a forum at which individuals with similar responsibilities can share experiences and information, discuss common problems, plan multi-campus projects, and speak in a collective voice. While there are national groups that address the common interests of provosts, deans of graduate schools, admission directors, and other administrators at research universities, there is no parallel group for senior administrators of undergraduate education.
