“The Center for IT Engagement (cITe) students published an article in an academic journal.  The Mount does a great job retaining students--the article talk about how students can overcome challenges that make them drop out of college. Students are the biggest stakeholders in their educational journeys; it's really important that we do research with them, on topics that matter to them.  What was unique about this research is that students were involved in the whole project--they even helped write the article:

Undergraduate research is a place where smaller schools like the Mount can really shine. The closer-knit relationships between faculty and undergraduates really means that undergraduates get a chance to participate in research. This research can help undergraduates forward in their careers; participation in research can give students a real leg up on graduate and professional applications.” Rebecca Allen, Ph. D.
