Faculty and Administrators

Undergraduate research and inquiry projects are only successful because of the commitment of faculty, who invest their time and talent into mentoring students. Research mentors are dedicated faculty or post-docs who provide undergraduate students an opportunity to engage in research either within the curriculum or through co-curricular mentorship. Engagement of students in research provides valuable opportunities to grow and learn as scholars, and leads to positive outcomes such as academic retention, graduation, and graduate school pathways. There are a variety of ways in which faculty can engage with OURI, as outlined below.

In addition, OURI has developed a flight plan that outlines the time commitment necessary for different levels of involvement. Please see below.
