The authors propose a seven-point plan for improving professional programs – particularly those that leverage Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder expertise in the space, earth, computer and data science realms.

The authors propose longer-term (minimum of one semester) faculty residencies to provide site-specific education around Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ. The instruction focus could include traditional and non-traditional undergraduate student education, dual high school enrollment, co-requisite remediation, and graduate education and BA/MA programs.

The authors propose that every student who graduates from Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ should be able to understand how messages, images and information are gathered, organized and used to create meaning.

The author documents her personal experience to support her contention that professional master’s degree students be treated equally with other graduate students – for example, not being prohibited from TA or RA positions as well as being given access to competitive tuition costs.

The authors describes how new structures and policies are designed to meet faculty needs as they provide innovative and scholarly teaching through the use of undergraduate learning assistants (LAs).

The authors encourage the campus to dwell on questions about how it might invite learners to cultivate critical approaches to authentic digital communities and information landscapes.
