Undergraduate involvement in faculty-mentored scholarly research and creative activities (SRCA) provides a window on scholarship and creativity in the making, allowing students to participate in discipline-specific practices related to the production of new knowledge and creative outcomes. Faculty mentors guide students in their engagement in such activities, helping them develop over time into proficient scholars and creators in their fields. Yet, this vital student-faculty interaction does not arise by chance, and once underway, is not without its surprises and challenges for both students and faculty members. In this panel, student-faculty pairs engaged in diverse forms of SRCA will discuss how their partnerships originated and developed, as well as the challenges and rewards they each experienced along the way. This will be an interactive session, with the panelists responding to questions from the audience and from the moderators.
Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to teachers@lmu.edu or x85866.
