“Working with undergraduates on research has been immensely rewarding. I feel I am helping build important foundations for the future of research in my discipline. They have been a great help to my project, and it has been most enjoyable to work with such smart, hardworking, creative young people.”

--Professor A. E. B. Coldiron
