Co-Integrate is a speaker series, jointly sponsored by the CREATE for STEM Institute and the Program in Mathematics Education, designed to support internal networking among colleagues in the College of Natural
Science, College of Education, and K-12 school partners interested in the teaching
and learning of mathematics in K-16 settings. This series features talks by MSU faculty
and graduate students who are working on projects to improve math teaching and learning
at MSU and in Michigan more broadly.
The Co-Integrate Seminar Series welcomes local K-12 teachers and administrators to
all of its events.
