A team at Oregon State University designed, implemented, and studied an alternative inclusive undergraduate research experience model aimed at lowering barriers to access for underrepresented and non-traditional students.  The program, Authentic Research through Collaborative Learning has just released a web-based guide to share insights and lessons learned from this long duration, low intensity and field independent research experience. Attend this free webinar to engage with the authors Julie Risisen and Ryan Brown.

At this free webinar for CUR Members, Carol Street from the University of Kentucky, will demystify the process of incorporating archival resources in the classroom; Learn how using archival resources can achieve high-impact results for undergraduates; Learn about the Learning Lab at the University of Kentucky, which achieves student success through a primary source-based internship in the UK Libraries Special Collections Research Center. Open to all but ideal for faculty/mentors in the humanities, social sciences, STEM faculty, and librarians.  

What are the unique opportunities and challenges for combining undergraduate research with public engagement? How can institutional archives (and archivists) support undergraduate research more effectively? What are best practices for working with community-based partners? And how can colleges institutionalize support for public humanities research?
