VIP was well represented at the annual meeting of the Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU) in DC. Directors from eight institutions presented a collaborative session on the VIP, the scalability and equity of the model, and the programs at their institutions. The conference brings together institutional leaders who can shape policy and affect change at R1 and R2 institutions.
