New Student Research Program — Spring 2003

A notice of special interest to UCC researchers and their community research partners:

I'm pleased to announce that UCC's Enhancement Fund will be supporting a new "Student Research Program": $100,000 has been set aside as a scholarship fund. All UCC students are eligible to participate. The new program complements the Small Cities CURA's existing support for undergraduate research and service learning.

Faculty are asked to propose a three-month research project, one that will provide a student with meaningful hands-on research opportunities. The ideal research project should have publication, presentation, or exhibition potential. Interested faculty must prepare a unique course outline (one that details the research project and the student's role in that project). Once the project is approved by an adjudication committee (Ron Smith, Tom Dickinson, Nancy Twynam/Colin James, a student representative, and Will Garrett-Petts), the student will be enrolled in a new "Research Learning Course." Upon successful completion of the course, the student will receive 3 credits and the scholarship award.

The Enhancement Fund Steering Committee has decided to provide $5000 for each project. Part of this funding may go toward the purchase of required equipment and supplies, but most should go to the student researcher.

We are hoping to place 10 student researchers this summer, 5 in the fall, and 5 more in the winter semester.

As I find out more about the program I'll update this list. In the meantime, please consider preparing a proposal that might engage a student researcher in your Small Cities CURA project. Given the nature of our CURA work, we should be able to provide rich educational experiences for the students.

Regards, Will Garrett-Petts
