On Teaching lunch discussion focuses on undergraduate research


The next On Teaching box lunch discussion session is 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, Memorial Room, Memorial Union. We will hear four faculty members who have experience working with undergraduate research in their disciplines or programs. The panelists are Evguenii Kozliak (chemistry), Tom Petros (psychology), Sally Pyle (honors), and Lana Rakow (community engagement).

Discussion will focus on such questions as: Why do we want students to do undergraduate research? What are the challenges and rewards, both for students and for the faculty who mentor them? and What kinds of things do we need to think about when we set up UR programs.

Whether you are already involved in undergraduate research or just thinking about what you might do, we hope you’ll come to this session to raise questions and share your own experience.

To register and reserve a free box lunch, call Jana Hollands at 777-4998 by 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9.
