Abilene Candle Company
Join us to create a custom-scented candle in minutes, a symbol of light and hope for the end of a long semester and the beginning of Advent. Stop by, pour your candle, and take it home as a reminder that “the light shines in the darkness.”

The Opposite of Cheating presents a positive, forward-looking, research-backed vision for what classroom integrity can look like in the GenAI era, both in cyberspace and on campus. Accordingly, the book outlines workable measures teachers can use to better understand why students cheat and to prevent cheating while aiming to enhance learning and integrity. During this session, we will be discussing chapters five, six and seven.

The Office of Undergraduate Research, Creativity and Innovation supports the participation of undergraduate students in scholarly research and creative projects through grant funding, hosting the ACU Undergraduate Research, Creativity, and Innovation Festival, and other collaborative initiatives. The office works closely with the Abilene-based University Undergraduate Research Council to support undergraduate student travel to conferences and other academic venues to present their work to external audiences.

This session aims to provide faculty with information to craft effective undergraduate travel grant applications as well as to answer any questions faculty may have regarding this process or undergraduate research broadly. RSVP here or call 325-674-2455.
