Undergraduate Research & Service Scholar th nnual elebratory 10 A C Symposium Thursday, August 15, 2019 Dear Friends of Undergraduate Research and Engaged Learning:

Welcome to the tenth annual Celebratory Symposium for students in our Summer Scholars program. With some five hundred and fifty presenters, this is our largest event ever, and we are very excited to share their work with you. And we are delighted to be able to do so in the heart of the main campus in the Patrick T. Harker ISE Lab – thanks once again for everyone who has made this possible, especially John Pelesko, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

As the Symposium program demonstrates, these students have worked on an extraordinary range of projects in disciplines all across the university as well as in the community. Over the past ten weeks, they have collaborated with their faculty mentors and, in many cases, with other undergraduates and with graduate students, learning how original research takes place and creating new knowledge themselves. Continuing UD’s nature as an engaged campus, many of them have worked with a wide range of external partners, translating research into action that both benefits community agencies and provides the students themselves with deepened understandings of the ways in which they can contribute and learn from their service. National studies of undergraduate research and experiential learning have shown time and again that these experiences can be the most powerful part of a student’s education, shaping his or her life and career for decades to come.

Both today’s event and the summer program itself would not be possible without the extraordinary support of people and offices across our campus. I particularly want to call out for thanks to the staff of the Undergraduate Research Program as well as the members of the faculty and staff throughout UD who volunteer their time and expertise to mentor students in the opportunities and responsibilities that go with conducting original research and service projects.

On behalf of all these members of the UD community, thank you for joining us at today’s program. We hope you will enjoy seeing and hearing the fruits of the students’ work and take away an even deeper appreciation for the intellectual accomplishments, creative achievements, and service contributions they make to the University of Delaware and its wider community.

Sincerely,

Iain Crawford Faculty Director, Undergraduate Research Program

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

Welcome to the University of Delaware’s tenth Annual Undergraduate Research and Service Scholar Celebratory Symposium, which caps off and celebrates this year’s Summer Scholars and Summer Fellows programs.

This event marks the culmination of 10 weeks of full-time research by more than 500 student researchers who have worked with faculty mentors and community partners. During the program, these students have been engaged in projects representing disciplines across the University, discovering the challenges and excitement of creating new knowledge and applying that knowledge out in the world.

Numerous studies have shown that these types of experiences are among the most important forms of learning. We know that engaging in mentored research can be a life-changing experience. Some of the students will build from this program as they go on to graduate school; others will find the experience they have gained invaluable as they move into professional careers. All of them will look back on these summer months as some of the most intensive and successful parts of their education.

We are very fortunate to be a top-rate research university, enjoying the resources and scholarship that come with that rank. On behalf of the University, I am grateful to everyone who has made this program possible for our students, including the staff of the Undergraduate Research Program, faculty, mentors and community partners. Together, we can do great things!

For UD,

Robin W. Morgan Provost
