Provost's Initiative

In spring of 2015, the Provost’s Initiative for Undergraduate Research was inaugurated.  Faculty members from across the University collaborated with undergraduates on a research project that extended throughout the semester.  The Provost’s Office is committed to increasing opportunities for experiential student learning, and this initiative represents a key element in achieving that goal.

Why collaborate with students?

More than anything, their energy and excitement in the research is often the highlight of my day/week.  They are able to look at the problem with a fresh set of eyes, and they often ask questions I have not yet considered.  They also bring a level of creativity that is absolutely necessary in mathematical research.
--Hannah Highlander, Associate Professor
