Curricular Development
Rise3 Designated Projects
The rise3 initiative is an emerging program. For this academic year, the rise3 faculty advisory committee clarified
the process for designating and evaluating rise3 projects. Going forward, proposals will be accepted four times
during the academic year and renewed annually to ensure quality and rigor. Further, all rise 3 projects, both credit
bearing and non-credit bearing, will be noted on each students’ academic transcript..
