George Mason To Lead Experiential Learning Project And Cross-Institutional Course Redesign

Study in US: The project will have faculty members from University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and George Mason. Professor Younsung Kim from George Mason University has received a 4-VA grant to conduct collaborative multidisciplinary research.

George Mason University is going to lead a multidisciplinary research project. Professor Younsung Kim of George Mason University has received a 4-VA grant to conduct this research in association with partner schools in Virginia. The results of this project will be implemented into undergraduate courses as learning modules.

Kim was teaching in George Mason’s Department of Environmental Science and Policy for 15 years. Kim’s proposal is “Designing Experiential Learning Modules for Stormwater Management and Climate Adaptation via Spatial Analysis Tools.”

“As climate change is increasing faster than climate prediction models have suggested, it is critical that we place more emphasis on integrating green infrastructure in climate vulnerable regions. I am delighted and honored to accept this award as we work together across the commonwealth to raise the bar for our faculty and students studying this important work. Together, we can tackle this critical challenge,” said Kim.

“4-VA has a long track record of success with the Collaborative Research Grants program, and we are excited to expand this model to support course redesign initiatives. 4-VA collaborative projects have built bridges between our institutions, nurtured hundreds of faculty and student relationships, provided valuable opportunities for experiential learning and hands-on research, and jumpstarted novel research projects that have gone on to receive national and international attention. We are looking forward to supporting this project proposed by Professor Kim and her team," said 4-VA’s State Working Group Chair Matt Banfield of UVA.

George Mason Sets Plan To Harness AI For Responsible Adoption And Societal Impact

George Mason University has rolled out a new model for universities called AI2Nexus to harness AI and drive societal impact.

“We are anticipating that AI integration will allow us to begin to evaluate and automate some routine processes reducing administrative burdens and freeing up resources for mission-critical activities,” said Charmaine Madison, George Mason’s vice president of information services and CIO.
