Experience Science Northeastern 2015

WHITE PAPERS INITIATIVE

Science is dynamic and the world outside the university is changing rapidly, so we must be proactive in order to remain a global leader in experiential education.

As part of the strategic planning for the Northeastern University College of Science, Dean Murray Gibson has solicited short “white papers” on research initiatives.

These papers will be seeds for open discussion of initiatives at brainstorming meetings planned for February through June.

Below is a list of white paper submissions. Faculty can view the text of the papers on Blackboard.
