Description/Abstract
As Kenneth Bartlett (2003) asserts, “Undergraduate research can constitute one of the glues that cements the academy together, by linking in a great intellectual chain of knowledge every element of the human potential of the institution.” At Jacksonville University we have been engaged in a determined effort over the past 14 years to create a culture of undergraduate research across and among disciplines, fostering strong mentoring relationships among professors and undergraduate students. Recently, we have added a research intensive element in designated courses to prepare and inspire students to transition into fully realized undergraduate research projects.
