Past Programs and Initiatives
Mentoring Initiative
When a faculty member mentors a student, helping that student grow and develop as a person and professional beyond the confines of any one college course, great things happen.
ePortfolio Initiative
ePortfolios allow students to collect, archive, and publish their work, as well as draw connections among different projects and integrate topics and themes across disciplines and semesters.
Sustainability Education Initiative
At its core, sustainability education involves engaging students on the wicked, complex, and pervasive problems of environmental degradation in order to protect ecosystems and meet the needs of human and non-human nature both today and in the future.
Technology-Enhanced Learning
In technology-enhanced learning, an instructor thoughtfully implements technology to improve student learning outcomes. Rather than employing technology for technology’s sake, instructors use technology to improve conditions for learning, including providing plentiful opportunities for practice, feedback, interaction, and engagement.

Bottlenecks and Thresholds Initiative
Where do students get stuck? What keeps them from progressing beyond basic understanding? How might faculty better teach disciplinary thinking?
Thresholds of Writing
How might we design learning situations that help students encounter dimensions of intellectual work that are “necessarily difficult,” in ways that are formative to students’ thinking, habits of mind, and even their identity?
Project Rebirth
The Project Rebirth Educational Initiative was a collaboration between CNDLS and Columbia University’s Center for New Media Teaching and Learning. The initiative's goal was to unite people who are interested in studying trauma and recovery.
