Curricular peer mentoring is a programmatic approach to enrich student learning and engagement in postsecondary courses in which instructors welcome a more experienced undergraduate student into a credit course they are teaching. The student then serves as peer mentor to the students enrolled. Peer mentors can provide a variety of peer-appropriate, course-specific mentoring, tutoring, facilitation and leadership roles and activities that complement the roles of the course s instructor and teaching assistants both in classroom settings and beyond. A program provides training and ongoing support for a larger number of peer mentors and instructional teams and manages recruitment and program research and quality. This volume provides research findings, definitions, theories, and practical program descriptions as a foundation for program development and research of undergraduate curricular peer mentoring programs in higher education. This work builds on a long history of higher education program development and collects a significant amount of literature that has previously been scattered."

Perhaps the battlefield of the future will benefit from plug and play satellites that are launched within days and capable of autonomous and deconflicted cross-cueing with each other and sensors on the ground, in the air, and sea. Whether or not we reach the elusive goal of autonomous, real-time interrogation and surveillance, we are assured of being in a data-rich environment. The challenge is how to make diverse data useable by many not just locked in valuable but separate stockpiles available to a few. While there are very real institutional, structural, process, and security challenges inhibiting data integration, these challenges are not insurmountable. The ultimate goal is to convert the data challenge into an incredible intelligence, decision-making, and action-optimizing resource. This paper charts a path forward for data integration and calls for a unified data space test bed in the near term to further joint and coalition efforts.
