The Research for Undergraduates Network (RUN) is a community of undergraduate research mentors (faculty, graduate students, & post-docs) and those who facilitate undergraduate research programs at OSU who collaborate and share promising practices. Many of us do this work in silos across the university. Instead, let’s come together and make all of our efforts stronger!
Engaging Undergraduates in Research - offered via Zoom
Those who attend this session will gain valuable insight into best practices for engaging in research with undergraduates, learn how to use OSU’s sample mentoring agreement, and explore sources of financial support for students engaged in research during the 2020-21 school year. This offering is co-sponsored by the College of Agricultural Sciences and the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP).
