The Dean’s Undergraduate Research Initiative (DURI) offers Education and Human Ecology (EHE) undergraduate students an opportunity to immerse themselves in an active, ongoing research project under the supervision of an EHE faculty member. For students, this immersive experience can open future career interests, strengthen graduate school applications and provide an important foundation for graduate school. In turn, EHE faculty will be paired with students interested and motivated to engage in research and can assist with data collection, dissemination activities, etc.
In addition, students and faculty might chose to continue working together beyond the one-year program. The work could even culminate in a written thesis that is guided by the student’s faculty research advisor.
Students are encouraged to present their research, in collaboration with their faculty mentor, at national conferences as well as the EHE Research Forum, held annually in the spring semester.
