Changes

<span style="font-size: 12px;">UC Riverside is a large campus with twenty thousand students but, they are spread across four separate colleges without much interdepartmental communication. This leads to a silo effect which discourages sharing of resources and collaboration. The goal here is to encourage interdisciplinary teams and courses to break down the silos, while simultaneously working to break down a strict "teacher-student" relationship and fostering a collaborative learning environment, giving part of the control of the students education back into the hands of the students. Towards this end we have already iniatied conversations with faculty in several departments to encourage the development of new courses that will be cross listed with multiple colleges and be able to fulfill major requirements for all of them. &nbsp;UC Riverside is in a stage of high growth at the moment, which also leads to the hiring of younger faculty which are generally more accepting of a newer education style.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;"></span> == <span style="font-size: 12px;"></span> == == <span style="font-size: 12px;"></span> == == <span style="font-size: 12px;"></span> ==
