Calling all DU undergrads, professional/graduate students, and other trainees!

 Are you interested in converting your work at DU into real economic, commercial, public, and/or social impact? Would you like to learn how to shepherd high-impact research results into real-world use and applications? Do you want to learn the knowledge and gain applied skills and experience that will make you a superior candidate for the job opportunities of tomorrow?  Do you want to develop the skills, knowledge, and connections to move fluidly across the academic-industry divide?  Would you like to help DU change the higher education paradigm? DU will be submitting an institution-wide grant proposal at the beginning of May, and we’re looking for students and trainees—at all levels—to participate! Students will be invited to join new courses, programs, and applied experiences that will be developed as part of the grant, and their feedback will shape these offerings for future generations. Students/trainees with a deep passion for the goals of this project may also be among the select few to serve as ambassadors! These select individuals will have the opportunity to champion the program while learning from a nationwide network of ambassadors (including representatives from universities, government/community bodies, and industry, to world-class researchers and fellow students)! This opportunity is brought to you by DU RITE—the team spearheading DU’s information gathering, visioning, and proposal drafting for this grant proposal. If you’d like to help DU to “DU RITE,” check out the DU RITE Digication page. More info
