Georgia College Theatre has created an innovative undergraduate research model involving a high impact interdisciplinary course combining Nursing, Early College with at-risk high school students in a general education core curriculum course to create scenes on health issues. As the recipient of multiple grants for Undergraduate Research which resulted in Assessment Models utilizing both Quality Enhancement Plan Rubrics and Association of American Colleges and Universities VALUE Rubrics, presenters are prepared to suggest high impact learning collaborations, social change objectives, critical thinking improvements, and methods of assessing collaborative research. Georgia College students from these classes will demonstrate through theatrical performance the success of these programs. Faculty wishing to be inspired by interdisciplinary collaborative models of engaged service learning and assessment will enjoy this session.
