"The Transformative Power of Undergraduate Research"

Julio Rivera, Chair, Department of Geography, Carthage College

Friday, February 1

Moving toward a curriculum that supports undergraduate research is not easy and requires creative thinking and careful adaptations to bring students and faculty into a collaborative relationship.  This workshop will assist faculty to develop a philosophical underpinning for engaging in undergraduate research, strategies for bringing it into the regular curriculum, ways to prepare students to be ready for these projects, and ways faculty can find time to accomplish all of this in the midst of their busy professional lives.
