Centering Students Through Undergraduate Research (Part 2) - On Campus Podcast

On Campus - with CITI Program

In part two of our conversation with Dr. Lisa Piazza, we focus on the evolving landscape of undergraduate research and how campuses can broaden access to these formative experiences. Dr. Piazza discusses inclusive practices, faculty involvement across disciplines, and the exciting innovations reshaping undergraduate research today. From shifting institutional mindsets to embedding research in the undergraduate journey, this episode continues our season’s exploration of the engaged university—one where every student has a chance to participate meaningfully in the creation of knowledge.
