Faculty/student research partnerships and the nurturing of individual talents have defined the Meredith educational experience since the founding of the college. In recent years expanded resources and support have become available for research and creative endeavors across the curriculum. The Undergraduate Research program sponsors projects and events that profile student achievement and extend opportunities for students to prepare for specific careers and graduate study. Students may receive financial support for research-related travel and/or materials and supplies, and they are encouraged to present their work at conferences, submit to undergraduate research publications, and participate in the annual Celebrating Student Achievement event on campus.
Stipends are available on a competitive basis to support student/faculty teams for eight weeks of summer research. Proposals for summer funding are accepted from all academic disciplines. Summer research students also participate in seminars and present their work at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) in the Fall and Celebrating Student Achievement (CSA) Day in the Spring.
