Renée Cole

Prof. Renée Cole was recently named an AAAS fellow along with six other University of Iowa faculty members. According to the original article, she was selected because "[her] research focuses on issues related to how students learn chemistry and how those results can be used to transform the design of instructional materials and teaching strategies to improve student learning. She is an internationally and nationally known leader in initiatives to effectively translate discipline-based research to the practice of teaching, thus increasing the impact of this research and improving undergraduate STEM education. Her work has led to insights in understanding how to effectively design and facilitate active learning in STEM classrooms, as well as identifying effective strategies for faculty development to assist instructors in implementing these materials and techniques." Congratulations!
