Virginia Sea Grant (VASG), the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), and the University of Virginia (UVA) are pleased to announce the availability of a one‐year professional development opportunity in the rapidly emerging area of multi‐, inter‐, and trans‐disciplinary team problem‐solving and research. These forms of cross‐disciplinary inquiry can produce innovative, integrated breakthroughs and solutions that transcend individual disciplines, and are essential to solving today’s grand societal challenges in costal and marine environments. Challenges such as enhancing coastal resilience to sea level rise, flooding, storms and other climate change impacts is demanding cross‐disciplinary solutions that emerge from a deeper level of knowledge integration than society and the academic community typically achieve.

The program is currently recruiting 30 grad students from ALL disciplines – sciences, engineering, arts and humanities, and professional fields. They are seeking a very diverse cohort, across gender, race and ethnicity. Read more here.

An Invitation to Share Your Innovation

Every April, the School of Business hosts the Deans’ Business Plan Competition. This interdisciplinary competition is open to any current Mason students or recent alumni (undergraduate and graduate, in all fields of study) and CEHD students are encouraged to participate. A total of $30,000 worth of cash and prizes is at stake.

The competition, particularly through its social impact track, offers an opportunity for CEHD students to pursue an idea for their own business, work on their advocacy/communication skills, and would also be a great experience to bring up during a job interview. In fact, last year, a team of CEHD students (Jessica Pic, a PhD candidate in the College of Education and Human Development, Kimberlie Fair MED Curriculum and Instruction ’15, and Matthew Randon MED Curriculum and Instruction ’16 ) won the second place award ($2,500) with their app: “Math-ish.” This year’s winning idea could be yours.

The competition will be held during the “2018 Day of Innovation” on the Fairfax campus in the MIX@Fenwick on April 12^th from 11am-5pm.

In preparation for the event, workshops are also being offered for students to get feedback on their ideas and work on their applications.
