OUR VIEWS Consensus Opinion Focus on undergrads President Clough’s plan for putting $250,000 towards undergraduate research is a step in the right direction. He is taking an important, beginning step to advance undergradu- ate education. However, he can’t do it alone. Faculty and students need to take an active role in defining undergraduate education. Students should take a part in their own education, provide feedback, and get to know their professors. They’re not interested, you claim? Try them.
