The Student Research Committee solicits and evaluates proposals to support research by undergraduate students (in conjunction with a faculty member). The committee makes recommendations for funding to the Provost/Academic Vice President who then communicates the approval of awards to the Chair. The funding is managed through the office of the Chief Academic Officer. This committee is staffed each year by a faculty Chair, one faculty representative each from natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, management division, and one at-large faculty member. It also includes one student member nominated by the Student Senate President. In order to retain continuity, this seven member committee replaces no more than four members (including the student) in a given year.
The current committee members are:
Dr. Emily Harcourt (Chair), Chemistry
Dr. Whitney Wood, Psychology
Dr. Caitlin Cunningham, Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science
Ms. Lindsey Sikes, Theatre Arts
Fr. Michael Guzik, History
Dr. Matthew Fee, Honors Program
Brittany Cripps, Student Representative
