Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU)

The Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU) is a national consortium of more than 125 research universities (public and private) dedicated to strengthening and reinventing undergraduate education. Formerly the Reinvention Collaborative and founded in 2000 at Stony Brook University in response to the Boyer Report (1998), our consortium brings together research university leaders with expertise in the theory and practice of undergraduate education. UERU centers around a network of R1/2 undergraduate vice presidents/provosts (UVPs), strategically situated leaders who drive university-wide innovation. UERU helps UVPs and their colleagues connect with one another and with national networks that help them advance undergraduate education (for example, in the areas of academic advising, undergraduate research, evidence-based and inclusive pedagogy, etc.). UERU members work collaboratively to develop and implement innovative undergraduate practices.
