In June 2017, two CUR Division of Arts & Humanities Councilors (Sara Orel and Julia DeLancey, Truman State University) participated in a workshop for faculty members in Art departments at public, liberal arts universities.  The workshop, put on by the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges brought together artists, art historians, designers, and museum and library professionals to discuss how to better support teaching of the arts in a public, liberal arts setting.  As part of that, Sara Orel co-facilitated a very well-attended session on integrating undergraduate research into arts curricula.  Dr. Orel is a former Arts & Humanities Division Chair and also co-author of the CUR publication How to Get Started in Arts and Humanities Research with Undergraduates (2014).
