Faculty, staff, and post-docs in all disciplines are encouraged to consider involving undergraduates in research, scholarly, and creative endeavors.  

ICRU is committed to meaningful experiences for everyone who participates in undergraduate research - faculty, staff, and students included.  Undergraduate researchers learn and contribute most effectively when expectations are clear and their mentors make them feel like valuable members of a team.  If you are a mentor who would like to start working with undergraduates, or if you already work with undergraduates, ICRU can help you learn more about creating a positive, successful experience with undergraduates for yourself and the students at the University of Iowa.
