This interactive workshop co-led by faculty and undergraduate students will explore how students-as-partners (SaP) programming can amplify student voices, create opportunities for high-impact practices, and serve as a catalyst for curricular innovation across a large agricultural college. In our SaP program, Growing Graduates from the Ground Up (G3U), 10 instructors were paired with 20 students who served as curriculum consultants. Each team designed and implemented unique curricular innovations for classes in forestry, equine management, agricultural biotechnology, and other disciplines. Students took an active role in observing the implementation of their innovations and assessing the impacts of their course innovations. As we present, SaP programming presents a unique opportunity to empower students and leverage their lived experiences and expertise. Embracing today’s curricular challenges, G3U student-instructor partnerships have created more engaging educational experiences, imagined alternatives to lecture-based classes, and co-designed assignments that are less vulnerable to unsanctioned AI use. We also present our process for designing quantitative and qualitative assessments of these curricular innovations. In addition to sharing our experiences, the interactive demonstration portion of the workshop will be a student-led “crash course” that simulates key components of the G3U program. Participants will begin with brief community-building activities to establish trust and shared purpose. Attendees will then form small groups where participants are grouped with our students and receive a curricular challenge to solve collaboratively (e.g., redesign an assignment, reimagining a lecture to be more interactive). Through a gamified timed design challenge, groups will develop innovative instructional strategies while exchanging structured “challenge” and “boost” cards to simulate the emergence of real-world constraints and opportunities. This interactive format illustrates how structured, student-centered co-design processes can generate impactful, adaptable, and innovative curricular solutions. Most of all, we want participants to leave our workshop considering the possibilities for student partnerships at their home institutions.
