MacVicar was an outstanding educator and scientist who founded MIT's famous Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) and went on to serve as MIT's first Dean for Undergraduate Education until her untimely death in 1991 at the age of 47. She was nationally recognized for her leadership in shaping policies both for undergraduate education and for science education in public schools. The MacVicar Faculty Fellowship program was established in her memory and has become one of MIT’s highest teaching honors. This video was created on the 10-year anniversary of her death to remember Professor MacVicar and her many contributions at MIT. 318 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/186103740 2009-07-12 21:07:35 -0400 Center for Advanced Visual Studies Center affiliate David Reinfurt will talk about Muriel Cooper and the Visible Language Workshop's legacy at MIT. As Design Director of MIT Press, professor in the School of Architecture, and co-founder with Ron MacNeil of the Visible Language Workshop, Muriel Cooper spent a career interrogating the methods and means of graphic design, carving out a series of spaces within MIT where fluid relationships between design, production, teaching, learning, making, reproducing and distributing were explored on a daily basis for twenty years. David co-founded Dexter Sinister a workshop in the basement at 38 Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side in New York City intended to model a "Just-In-Time" economy of print production, working on-demand, considering alternate distribution strategies, and collapsing editing, design, production and distribution into one efficient activity. 3804 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/186028880 2009-08-31 11:43:07 -0400 MIT Alumni Association Three MIT alumni share their best practices in STEM teaching and learning both inside and outside the classroom.

The program is hosted by the Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) at MIT and Harvard. The goal of TOPS is to provide college students with an exceptional teaching experience that will reinforce their interest in pre-college physics teaching. 313
