Description/Abstract
After a new undergraduate research program is hatched, the enthusiasm too quickly bursts into disconnected sectors among faculty and administration visions, among disciplines, and among campuses. The challenge is to develop a program with uniformity and high standards across the sectors. Solutions to tackle student and mentor roles, integrity, ethics, ownership, laboratory safety, and other unifying tools will be presented and discussed using examples from a new undergraduate research program cultivated at a twoyear Florida college. We will also include a list of recommendations to others advising, recommending, or implementing inquiry learning.
