CHAPS
The Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools (CHAPS) was established in 2009 to:
- Create archaeologically and historically literate citizens who are aware of their local cultural and natural history and of its importance to the future of the Rio Grande Valley.
- Help local school districts develop interdisciplinary K-12 curriculum to prepare students for future enrollment in the STEM subjects.
- Teach students the importance of stewardship to include site preservation, ethics and laws that affect our non-renewable local resources.
Center for Collaboration and Ethics
The Center for Collaboration and Ethics promotes and facilitates transdisciplinary projects relevant to the Valley. The Center serves as a hub, bringing together different disciplines within academia as well as different stakeholders and groups from the wider community around shared ethical concerns. The Center also pursues projects that help various local communities develop their own capacities to address ethical issues. In this way, the entry contributes to UTRGV’s aim of serving as an anchor institution in the Valley.
