Involved students in meaningful ways

Research opportunities when possible

About 50% double-majors from may depts

Encouraged pedagogical projects from the idea up

Team-based project planning

up to 38 projects of various kinds

Changed the question about DS at scale

From: “How do we do large-scale projects”

Some of the things we might do better



A hybrid approach, just enough infrastructure

LAC models for R1 contexts?
