Leading a Student Research Team: Tips from Veteran Faculty: An OFE Partners Session Online
Undergraduate as well as graduate student research is on the rise, and both students and faculty benefit from these opportunities (see article on benefits for HSIs). The challenge is to figure out how to manage your team and projects effectively. In this panel, veteran team leaders, Laura Lakusta, Psychology, and Nicole Lytle, Child Advocacy and Social Work, will share their insights and tips from years of working in research labs with both funded and unfunded graduate and undergraduate students. They make it work and so can you.
