Purdue University, SEISMIC Collaboration

Who We Are

Purdue University is one of the 10 public research universities in the United States that partners with SEISMIC.

When joining the SEISMIC Collaboration, each SEISMIC Institution committed to

Bringing together a local community of education researchers and practitioners motivated to explore and improve equity and inclusion in foundational STEM courses, led by an institutional PI and supported by an administrative patron.
Hosting 6 or more SEISMIC-related speakers on their campus each year, as part of our Speaker Exchange Program.
Getting research access to student data so their institution can participate in our parallel data analysis. Note, we do not share institutional data across SEISMIC, we share code to run parallel analyses and then share results across SEISMIC.
Connecting their existing STEM reform efforts to the larger SEISMIC project. It is hoped that these connections will both support and enhance local reform projects.
Paying the travel costs for four local team members to attend our annual collaboration meetings.

Daniel Guberman

Senior Instructional Developer | Center for Instructional Excellence

“I have been facilitating teaching and learning reading groups at Purdue for the past four years, and I always consider the discussions a highlight of my semester.

Instructors really appreciate the ability to choose to participate in our programming either by meeting in-person or virtually…”
