We have chosen three themes for the Milwaukee seminar: * Providing undergraduate research opportunities and collaborations across international boundaries * Building research experiences into first-year and introductory courses * Transforming curricula to include research and inquiry. Participants will work through the pressing issues facing undergraduate researchers and programs in North America and the rest of the world through small group discussions. Programme Details of the draft programme are available at: http://www.cur.org/issotl/2011/information.html Posters All delegates are invited to submit an electronic poster by September 14, 2011 to [log in to unmask] for display on the seminar web site before the event. You should also bring a hard copy version with you (posters should not exceed 40 inches wide) for display on the day. For technical specifications, please visit: http://www.cur.org/pre-ISSOTLposter.html. The Posters are a key aspect of the seminar and we hope that many attendees will produce a poster for the website and the Milwaukee event. Registration This will be combined with ISSoTL 2011 registration (http://issotl11.indiana.edu/registration.html).
