We
are developing this site to encourage more involvement
of
GW undergraduate students in research, scholarship,
and creative activity – to enhance their
educational experience and to enrich GW’s
research enterprise. Among other things, this
site provides:
-An overview of ways to get involved in research
-Tips for student researchers and mentors on how
to get the most out of the experience
-Postings by GW faculty members of research opportunities
for undergraduates
-Information on GW’s Gamow and
Rice undergraduate research awards, which funds
faculty-mentored
undergraduate
research projects
-Links to programs that provide research opportunities
for undergraduates at federal agencies, national
laboratories, and other universities
-Links to programs that fund faculty members to
provide research opportunities for undergraduates
-Upcoming news @ undergraduate research
Our efforts to expand opportunities for GW
undergraduate students to become involved in research
are linked
to the University’s goals, outlined in the Strategic
Plan for Academic Excellence, of enhancing "challenge,
discovery, and quality in undergraduate education" and
increasing "the scope and excellence of the GW
research enterprise." We believe that nothing
can get students excited and get students thinking
like working with faculty mentors to answer real questions
and solve real problems in their fields.
