Undergraduate research in the sciences has a long history on our campus and others. Given what appear to be significant benefits for both students and faculty, there is a growing interest, particularly among liberal arts colleges, in exploring ways to engage students in undergraduate research in other disciplines as well. This session will provide an opportunity to learn about undergraduate research, and to consider ways we might do more of it in the non-science disciplines at St. Olaf.
