Changes

Taking initiative on this project will require a lot of personal relationships. Over the next couple years, students could work along side alongside professors rather than underneath them as in a class. If students come to professors with project ideas, there will be a lot more involvement and passion for the projects.

If students go to professors with projects, then they will enjoy the work. If they get shadowed during their research and replace themselves, then they will feel much more inclined to act in a professional manner and explain their research thoroughly to those who will take their position. This will also allow the research can to be continued over the years. We would like to get this idea out to students so that projects they're passionate about are integrated into the programs and they will hopefully be able to recruit mentees better to continue to fully develop projects that benefit themselves, professors, and the school.
