These experiences highlighted the transformative potential of transdisciplinarity infostering collaboration across academic colleges. As we reflected on these experiences, werecognized the profound impact on our own scholarly trajectories, setting us on a trajectorytoward becoming transdisciplinary scholars. This work not only contributes to the broaderacademic discourse but also lays a foundational framework for our future endeavors, preparingus for careers as scholars who bridge disciplinary boundaries.
