New to Mentoring Students in Undergraduate Research? Start Here.

At MSU Denver, we are student-centered, focused on delivering a high-quality education through teaching, scholarly activities, and service, faculty work to advance the mission of the university. To fulfill the mission, faculty can engage undergraduate students in “scholarly inquiry, creative activity, and the application of knowledge.”

Mentoring undergraduate research is a student-focused way of bringing research and teaching together.
