MUSE 2017 Booklet

Abstract

TCNJ prides itself on the teacher scholar model where faculty are not only excellent instructors to our students, but also generate new knowledge or creative projects in their disciplines. TCNJ’s 2017 MUSE (Mentored Undergraduate Summer Experience) is the apex of the teacher scholar model by fully integrating faculty scholarship/creative projects with student learning and training. The program brought together 49 faculty members and 94 students from across campus over the course of 8 weeks in the summer where faculty mentors created a transformative educational experience for students while pushing their scholarly agendas forward.
