________________________________

Institutions of higher education across the country are devising and implementing strategies to recruit and especially retain students. Many practical avenues have been proposed and a wide range of policies and financial support strategies implemented to achieve the goals of these strategies. We know that the inclusion of all students in research and scholarly activities are particularly successful in strengthening retention. Guided by practical approaches that focus on the development of inquiry based learning activities built into the undergraduate curriculum and the systematic exploration of different ways to develop and assess such a curriculum from multiple perspectives, the 2015 conference offers a wide range of practical and diverse approaches to advance the missions of Oklahoma's institutions of higher education.



Concurrent sessions are sought for these categories:



1.       Building Research Into the Curriculum

2.       Creating High Impact Research Assignments

3.       Challenges of Inclusivity and Diversity

4.       Assessing the Impact of Research
