This project would put like-minded students together, forming stronger bonds that may last throughout their time at Mines. Furthermore, it has the opportunity to allow students to have an outlet to express themselves. To do this, we would need approval from the coordinators of this program. This is organized by the Spring 2019 cohort.
=== Promoting Open Educational Resources at Mines ===
This is an ongoing project that aims to increase the adoption or creation of open educational resources on the Mines campus, which include textbooks or learning materials that are free of cost and able to be openly adapted. There are partnerships with the Trefny Center, Arthur Lakes Library, Undergraduate and Graduate Student Government, and the State of Colorado OER Steering committee. Recently, there we received a grant from the State of Colorado to increase the amount of OERs on campus. This grant is being used to incentivize faculty to create the OERs on their own time. Seven faculty on campus are funded through this grant, and it is estimated that two thousand students will benefit in the first year. To increase this program, we will need more funding to create more grants. This is an ongoing project by the Spring 2019 cohort.
