An award has been made to California Lutheran University to organize and conduct a workshop in support of the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Science Education (PULSE). This workshop is scheduled for March 1-3, 2013 in St. Louis, MO. Last September, the PULSE partners appointed 40 Vision and Change Leadership Fellows to stimulate transformative changes in the undergraduate life science education community. All Fellows met in October, 2012 and have since organized into four working groups to address different challenges to reforming how biology is taught at all types of undergraduate institutions. The Vision and Change Leadership Fellows are focusing on how life science departments can encourage and reward faculty member?s efforts to improve undergraduate life sciences education. Such improvements should increase student learning, should increase retention rates for students in the sciences, and should prepare all students to be more curious and scientifically literate citizens. The current award is to fund a workshop for twelve of the Leadership Fellows who are part of the "Spreading the Pulse" working group. This group has the overall goal of determining how to assist those departments that request help in implementing recommendations made in the Vision and Change report. The working group will engage the entire pulse community to identify, train, and deploy teams of Ambassadors who will visit different departments over the next year. The Ambassadors will help departments evaluate their progress so far, then provide guidelines, resources, planning recommendations, and assessment rubrics being developed by the other working groups. Therefore, representatives from the other three working groups will be invited to the workshop so that the activities of all four working groups can be better coordinated throughout this fieldwork phase in advance of a second meeting of all the Fellows in June, 2013. The guidelines from this workshop will be shared with the life sciences community, primarily via the www.pulsecommunity.org website.

加州路德大学获得了组织和举办研讨会的奖项，以支持本科生命科学教育合作伙伴关系 (PULSE)。该研讨会定于 2013 年 3 月 1 日至 3 日在密苏里州圣路易斯举行。去年 9 月，PULSE 合作伙伴任命了 40 名愿景和变革领导力研究员，以刺激本科生命科学教育界的变革。所有研究员于 2012 年 10 月举行会议，此后分成四个工作组，以应对改革各类本科院校生物学教学方式的不同挑战。愿景与变革领导力研究员致力于研究生命科学系如何鼓励和奖励教职员工改善本科生命科学教育的努力。 这些改进应该增加学生的学习，应该提高学生在科学方面的保留率，并且应该让所有学生成为更具好奇心和科学素养的公民。 目前的奖项是资助为“传播脉搏”工作组的十二名领导研究员举办的研讨会。该小组的总体目标是确定如何协助那些需要帮助的部门实施愿景和变革报告中提出的建议。该工作组将让整个豆类社区参与进来，以确定、培训和部署将在明年访问不同部门的大使团队。大使将帮助各部门评估迄今为止的进展，然后提供其他工作组正在制定的指导方针、资源、规划建议和评估准则。因此，其他三个工作组的代表将被邀请参加研讨会，以便在 2013 年 6 月所有研究员第二次会议之前，在整个现场工作阶段更好地协调所有四个工作组的活动。本次研讨会的指导方针将主要通过 www.pulsecommunity.org 网站与生命科学界共享。
