Pacific Northwest Region

The greater Pacific Northwest region including Alaska.  

The Northwest (NW) has 8 PULSE Fellows from diverse institution types, and these individuals have come together to form the Northwest PULSE working group. Using funds from NSF RCN-UBE (NSF #1346583) and EAGER (NSF #1347553) awards, this group has created a NW V&C Community of Practice (COP), a network of colleges and universities in the NW (AK, ID, MT, OR, WA, WY; additional schools from CA, GA, UT). Institutions that join the NW COP will use the resources and tools developed both within and outside of the PULSE effort to transform how their Life Science Departments educate their students using a Systems Thinking approach.
