Students engage with professors with years of direct industry experience and research expertise. Early engagement in research can help students obtain scholarships, awards, and graduate school positions. Faculty are encouraged to incorporate research into their teaching.
"(Research has) been a really sweet way to optimize my time at school. Looking back, I’m so grateful that I did this. It has truly been a highlight to work under Shelley (Canning). She has been a wonderful mentor and has impacted me and my nursing practice immensely."
