Recognizing Our Research Award Winners
Importance of Undergraduate Research
The survey was administered in April 2008 to students who participated in UR projects during fall 2007 and/or spring 2008. A second round of the survey was administered in mid-July 2008 for students who participated in a summer UR experience at MSU. All participants were students who received undergraduate research support from their colleges through funding provided by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education and Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

JYI's web journal (which is also called JYI) is dedicated to the presentation of undergraduate research in science, mathematics, and engineering. It publishes the best submissions from undergraduates, with an emphasis on both the quality of research and the manner in which it is communicated. The journal, JYI, also allows students to experience the other side of the scientific publication process: the review process. Students working with their faculty advisors review the work of their peers and determine whether that work is acceptable for publication in JYI.
