Synergy looks at the new Institution-Wide Reform (IR) initiative. In its inaugural year, the awards from this initiative promise to catalyze changes in institutional culture and infrastructure that are prerequisite to systemic reform. The aim of these awards is to motivate changes in priorities and the allocation of resources that will enable institutions to support the ongoing activities of the visionary reforms they proposed. Synergy is created when these efforts transcend the traditional divisions of departments or disciplines to create a more seamless curriculum, incorporate skills and knowledge applicable far beyond the campus, and are adopted by graduates who aspire to be lifelong learners.
