Enrichment Program
The Enrichment Program is two-pronged: 1)
a technologically mediated online Enrichment
Course, and 2) face-to-face meetings. Created
by a committee of Consortium faculty and chaired
by Deborah Hatton (Vanderbilt University), the
Enrichment Course is taught primarily by faculty
Consortium members with the addition of a variety of non-Consortium content experts. Each
year has a specific focus (see Figure 4).
