Adams Interdisciplinary Charrette for Undergraduates was the brainchild of Harold L. Adams &#8217;61, an Outstanding Alumnus of the college who has endowed interdisciplinary professorships in each of the college&#8217;s four departments. He conceived of the charrette to overcome the silo effect in academia that tends to isolate students and faculty within the sphere of their own departments, which can inhibit interdisciplinary interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"featured-img-slider\">\n\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"featured-img-slider__inner\"\n\t\taria-label=\"Image carousel.
