Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Registration

Developing a Comprehensive Undergraduate Research Program

Wednesday, October 2, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

A robust undergraduate research program enriches student learning, enhances faculty productivity, and provides a host of other benefits to a campus (Clark et al., 2000; Noe et al., 2002; Lopatto, 2006; Johnson, 2007). Developing a comprehensive program, or strengthening an existing program, is challenging work. A successful undergraduate research program requires support and participation from students, faculty, and administrators – and also requires sustainable structures, resources, and policies. Even effective programs often confront vexing issues linked to faculty workload, clearly defined roles within the undergraduate research enterprise, institutional valuing of undergraduate research, and student needs as apprentice scholars (Dickinson & Johnson, 2000; Fallow & Johnson, 2000; Johnson, 2002). This symposium will focus on evidence-based practices that support the development and growth of a comprehensive undergraduate research program. Participants will work with leaders in the field to craft practical strategies related to:

Institutionalization of undergraduate research;
Mentor support and development programs; and
Enhanced student outcomes.
