Organizational Partners

Welcome Dr. Tim Musgrove! New CRECE Fellow! Tim, recently appointed as a Research Associate at UCSC, brings a wealth of experience in Large Language Models and other Natural Language Processing tools to our team.  Tim has worked in cognitive semantics, data science and artificial intelligence for over twenty years, resulting in a number of product launches, publications (including articles in Joint Ontology Workshops) and patents. Tools developed by his teams have been generating content (and/or filtering content) in high volume for numerous digital media companies. Tim will be assisting the CRECE team in developing new tools for data analysis as well as creating software designed to assist students in need of extra assistance with writing. His non-profit, LogicArts Institute, will be a close partner in many upcoming CRECE projects.

CRECE co-Directors and affiliated members will have hundreds of years of collective experience in educational evaluation. We are proposing the following categories of potential CRECE partners.

1. CRECE Faculty Fellows: UCSC professors and researchers who have an interest in evaluation, research, psychometrics, and equity in education. Faculty Fellows will encourage cross-disciplinary connections and collaboration across campus.
2. CRECE Scholars: Professors and researchers (non-UCSC affiliated) who hold expertise in evaluation studies.
3. CRECE Emerging Education Scholars: Includes post-doctoral researchers at UCSC with an interest and capacity for advanced evaluation work.
4. CRECE Graduate Student Affiliates: Any UCSC graduate student who shows an interest and promise for evaluation work. We actively recruit Graduate Student Affiliates from Education, Psychology, and Sociology, in addition to other campus-wide departments (Applied Mathematics and Statistics).
5. CRECE Undergraduate Student Affiliates: Outstanding UCSC undergraduate students who have expertise and interest in data collection and analysis.
