SU 4 Faculty and Staff Scholarship 2018 he words on Schreiner’s front gate remind all of us—guests Tand residents alike—that almost everything that is good and true begins with hope. And often, things start with only hope until— slowly but surely and year after year—resources and connections and capacities are built in order for something new to exist in the world. The carved stone on our front entrance is not just a promise to our students when they come to the University; it is a shared Schreiner worldview that believes there is more to come.

I hope that you not seen in just the same way will see a connection to someone before; and the hope to help others else’s research that you had not understand their world in ways that seen before. I hope that you will be they had not understood it before. intrigued enough by what you read that you will want to find out more. To be sure, hope is not enough.

They continue to have that you just may be wrong after my profound respect. all. Hope is not enough—but it is necessary to begin. Without it, the Dr. Charlie McCormick faculty, staff, and students whose President work is featured in this publication would never have been launched.

SU 34 Faculty and Staff Scholarship 2018 SU Faculty and Staff Scholarship 2018 35 he creativity to produce a better product from the Tsame resources, or to produce the same product quicker, cheaper, or more efficiently will always be valued by the marketplace. Thus, college graduates with the confidence and skill to create will always be valued. Undergraduate research and scholarship are a bridge that lets students cross from being knowledge consumers to knowledge creators. These projects cannot be completed by following a known simple procedure. By their very nature, research projects require a mental leap that nobody else has ever completed. This may come at the beginning by asking a question that nobody has ever asked. This may come in the middle by finding a solution to an obstacle that has stopped previous attempts. This may come at the end by finding a new application that nobody else thought a project could be used for. In all these cases, students will demonstrate to themselves and others that they have the skill to produce a truly unique outcome that in some way exceeds all previous efforts in that field of study. Schreiner students who complete undergraduate research and scholarship will truly “Leave with Achievement”.
