The WVU Office of Undergraduate Research would appreciate meeting with the faculty within WVU departments during a regularly scheduled faculty meeting (first 10 minutes) or a separate stand-alone meeting to discuss UGR programming and how UGR can support faculty who wish to engage undergraduates in research and creative endeavors.
UGR works with faculty members and departments from all disciplines including arts, humanities, education, business, and STEM. If your department is interested in scheduling a meeting, please contact UGR at undergradresearch@mail.wvu.edu.
Topics we could discuss:
Research Apprenticeship Program (RAP)
Summer Undergraduate Research Experience site (SURE)
Campus-wide symposia (spring and summer)
Promotion of external conferences and research/scholarly opportunities (e.g., Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol, Posters on the Hill, National Conference on Undergraduate Research)
Travel funding for student presentations and discipline-specific conferences
Language/budget for including undergraduate researchers in proposals
