Among those who have never been alive in their lifetime are Tupac Shakur, JonBenet Ramsey, Carl Sagan, and Tiny Tim. On Parents' Weekend, they may want to watch out in case Madonna shows up to see daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon or Sylvester Stallone comes to see daughter Sophia. For students entering college this fall in the Class of 2018... 1. During their initial weeks of kindergarten, they were upset by endlessly repeated images of planes blasting into the World Trade Center. 2. Since they binge-watch their favorite TV shows, they might like to binge-watch the video portions of their courses too. 3. Meds have always been an option. 4. When they see wire-rimmed glasses, they think Harry Potter, not John Lennon. 5. "Press pound" on the phone is now translated as "hit hashtag." 6. Celebrity "selfies" are far cooler than autographs. 7. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has always been the only news program that really "gets it right." 8.

Nicotine has always been recognized as an addictive drug requiring FDA oversight. 22. Students have always been able to dance at Baylor. 23. Hello Dolly...cloning has always been a fact, not science fiction. 24. Women have always been dribbling, and occasionally dunking, in the WNBA. 25. Ads for prescription drugs, noting their disturbing side effects, have always flooded the airwaves. 26. Hell has always been associated less with torment and more with nothingness. 27. Whether to embrace fat or spurn it has been a front page debate all their lives. 28. Parents have always been able to rely on a ratings system to judge violence on TV. 29. They never tasted the "texturally enhanced alternative beverage" known as Orbitz. 30. There has always been "TV" designed to be watched exclusively on the web. 31. The Unabomber has always been behind bars. 32. Female referees have always officiated NBA games. 33. There has always been a national database of sex offenders. 34. Chicago, a musical about a celebrity getting away with murder, has always been popular on Broadway. 35. Yet another blessing of digital technology: They have never had to hide their dirty magazines under the bed. 36. U.S. major league baseball teams have always played in Mexico. 37. Bill Gates has always been the richest man in the U.S. 38. Attending schools outside their neighborhoods, they gather with friends on Skype, not in their local park. 39.

The collaborative activities range from low depth (such as Connecting Individuals) to high depth of involvement and mature productivity (such as Coordinating Major Pursuits). There are ten of these activities discussed: 1) Connecting Individuals, 2) Facilitating Flow, 3) Seeding Partnerships, 4) Developing Proposals, 5) Managing the Collaboration, 6) Sharing Decision Making, 7) Co-Locating Researchers, 8) Investing at the Interface, 9) Broadening the Collaboration, and 10) Coordinating Major Pursuits. My point in providing this white paper is to encourage you to help your faculty to be engaged in collaborative projects and document those collaborations on their CV, to their administrators, and to their grant funding organizations. The CV might include narrative components describing collaborative projects in addition to lists of grant proposals and publications. I encourage you to encourage the faculty members to include their collaboration roles in their CVs when they represent a significant investment of their time and expertise.
