Abstract
In 2014, the University of North Georgia committed to increasing opportunity for student / faculty participation by investing in the High Impact Practice of Undergraduate Research. Simultaneously, faculty development, undergraduate research, academic engagement, grant development and nationally competitive scholarships were consolidated into the Office of Research and Engagement. The synergy formed by bridging the touch-points between students, faculty, administration, and external opportunity within ORE led to new opportunities for student engagement. Ignited by a $1.3M five-year UNG Presidential Incentive Awards program, UNG increased nationally competitive scholarship awards, student faculty research opportunities, and competitive external awards from $1M / yr to $6 M in FY’18. Join us as we discuss the hidden bridges that can be tapped within our institutions to bridge opportunities for STEM students.
