Description/Abstract
Barry University has maintained an undergraduate research culture for many years. A key component of our ability to foster this research environment is the mentoring focus. In the life and physical sciences, the Barry mentoring experience is one-on-one with faculty who offer diversity in research projects and mentoring styles. Freshmen through seniors have the flexibility to select faculty mentors and remain in the labs through graduation. These experiential learning opportunities have impacted the research climate at Barry. Through the associated structured activities, we are preparing our graduates for a diversified workforce.
