Lydia Fox, University of the Pacific; Ed Hansen, Hope College. - Abstract: This workshop is for faculty and postdoctoral scientists/graduate students. Topics in the morning will focus on establishing a research program with undergraduates (integrating research practices into the classroom, effective approaches to mentoring undergraduate researchers, identifying funding sources). Topics in the afternoon will focus on sustaining an undergraduate research program (maintaining research continuity and productivity, recruiting and mentoring researchers, balancing teaching and research, funding). Based on the demographics of our participants, we may also include information on how to get a job at an academic institution (primarily undergraduate). Participants may join for either half of the workshop or for the full day.
