What is a transformative experience?
Great things happen when TTU students and faculty have the time, space, and resources to work together on innovative projects and exciting experiences. While our definition of transformative experiences intentionally spans a range of activities that is as broad as the scope of disciplines in the University, at their core they almost all boil down to a meaningfully complex and long-term project where a professor and a small group of students collaborate to investigate, explore, or create together. TrUE employs the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) High-Impact Educational Practices framework for evaluating the impact of proposed experiences
