About the Institute
The Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU) is delighted to invite applications for the Lamborn-Hughes Institute (LHI). Selected teams will be invited to gather over three days on the main campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, to address issues that they have identified as a priority for their respective institutions. Each team will work with a dedicated faculty member as well as benefit from structured opportunities for networking.
In 2019, its inaugural year, the LHI welcomed teams from: University of Virginia; University of Texas at Austin; University of South Florida; University of Nebraska; University of Kentucky; Purdue University; The Ohio State University; University of Kansas; George Mason University; Emory University; and Colorado State University. In 2022, the LHI welcomed teams from: Kansas State University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Utah, University of Arizona, University of California, San Diego, University of Delaware, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech, and Colorado State University.
The Lamborn-Hughes Institute is dedicated to the proposition that superior undergraduate education and broad-based student success require innovative student-centered approaches and myriad effective collaborative partnerships across units. Horizontal collaboration is key. Institute teams are therefore typically composed of leaders from a variety of units (e.g., academic and student affairs; enrollment management; diversity, inclusion, and equity; institutional research, etc.).
The Lamborn-Hughes Institute celebrates the collaboration between Alan Lamborn, former CSU Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs & Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities Executive Director, and Blanche Hughes, CSU’s current Vice President for Student Affairs and Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities Board Member.
