Faculty mentors play an important role in the undergraduate research process by assisting students in making the transition from classroom learning to real world applications. It can also be very valuable for researchers to contribute to students’ development and their confidence to pursue a successful career. In addition, close interaction between students, faculty, and other research personnel exposes students to research processes, methodologies, and to higher levels of learning
Faculty Handbook:
Mentoring Undergraduates in Research and Scholarship
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (OURS) is pleased to announce the publication of their handbook on mentoring undergraduates in research and scholarship at UAA. The collection of essays represents a concerted effort by UAA faculty members who truly believe in UAA’s mission to “discover and disseminate knowledge through teaching, research, engagement, and creative expression.” To learn more about how UAA’s faculty mentor their students, please visit the Handbook’s website.
Undergraduate Research Project Management System
UAA faculty and undergraduate students are engaged in a diverse number of research projects. To facilitate the exchange of ideas among faculty and students, the Undergraduate Research Project Management System was created. The system is a public, online database of faculty research projects that involve undergraduates as part of the research team. It is intended both to inform students, colleagues, and the community about UAA’s undergraduate research projects, and to build support for more initiatives in this area. To view the diverse research projects at UAA, or to upload your own project, please visit the Management System’s webpage.
