Why is Undergraduate Research (Independent Study) Important?

The impression that an undergraduate makes in a research laboratory can have powerful
effects on future decisions. Graduate admissions committees and prospective employers may
put much more weight on a letter of recommendation than on grades or GRE scores.......

Approaching a potential mentor

In an initial contact with a potential mentor, you will want to convey some of the
following information about yourself and your research interests:

1) Background information about yourself including your name, address, phone number,
email address, your area of research interest, your educational background (for
example, course work in biology, chemistry, physics, computer sciences), and any
previous research experience....

2) The amount of time you are able to commit to a research project.....

3) What you read about the mentor’s research that particularly intrigued you....

4) What your motivation for pursuing a research project is.....

Understanding undergraduate research from a potential mentor’s point of view

....Now a bright young undergraduate approaches you and asks to join the lab. What that
undergraduate is really saying, certainly without knowing it, is “Will you and the students and
staff in your lab, who are trained to do science and whose careers and even livelihood depend on
the continued production of good science, take the time to teach me to do some science, too? ”

Well, there are
several important reasons: (i) The only way any of us got into science is because, at some point
in our lives, someone said “yes” to us. Most faculty members still remember that. (ii) This IS a
university and we therefore owe it to the students, both undergraduate and graduate students, to
teach research skills. (iii) Good undergraduate researchers are fun to have around. It is neat to
see their interest and excitement at things that the rest of us have long since taken for granted.
(iv) Very good undergraduates, with the right mentoring become very valuable members of the
research group......
