OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR- ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR- STUDENT AFFAIRS October 9, 1995 Dear Colleagues: We are writing to invite your application for an undergraduate research assistant for the Winter and Spring Quarters under the Faculty Mentor Program. All research assistants from the program are in their junior and seniors years and make a commitment to work at least 10 hours a week on research assigned by the faculty. Students receive 8 units of 199 Independent Study credit, 4 units during the Winter and 4 in the Spring. In addition to assisting their professors, students write a research proposal and paper analyzing some facet of their mentors research project. At the end of the year, participating students present their research at the Faculty Mentor Program Research Symposium. The Faculty Mentor Program has been in existence for thirteen years and is intended to enrich undergraduate education, to encourage students to consider graduate or professional school and to provide preparation for entrance into Ph.D. programs and careers in research and university teaching. We do hope you decide to apply for a research assistant. Last year over 200 faculty and research scientists participated in undergraduate research through the Academic Enrichment Programs. Over 250 students were placed as research assistants in all fields and disciplines. The range and complexity of the undergraduate projects is truly impressive. If you would like a faculty application or have any questions or suggestions, please contact Dr. Mel Green, Director of Academic Enrichment Programs (x40485), or Darlene Salmon, Faculty Mentor Program Coordinator (x45791). Sincerely, Robert Dynes Joseph Watson Vice Chancellor Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs Student Affairs |
