LearningWell Radio talks with Volin on Research Learning Experiences
John Volin, executive vice president of academic affairs and provost at the University of Maine, spoke with LearningWell Radio about Research Learning Experiences (RLEs), courses that allow first-year students to engage in research and other forms of hands-on learning at the start of their college careers. RLEs are part of UMS TRANSFORMS, a multifaceted initiative from the University of Maine System to bring transformative change in public higher education in the state, strengthen its economy and workforce and prepare future leaders with the skills needed to solve the most pressing global and local challenges. The initiative is supported by a $240 million commitment from the Harold Alfond Foundation.
