If you are a sophomore, junior, senior, or recent UMBC graduate who conducted research with a UMBC faculty-mentor at anytime in the last two academic years, you may be able to help this doctoral student with his project. This work has IRB approval from University of Pennsylvania. See the student's request:

Dear UMBC Student,

I’m a doctoral candidate in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. My dissertation explores potential influences that faculty-mentored undergraduate research has on student engagement and student academic achievement.

I understand you may be a student who previously conducted research with a UMBC faculty-mentor. If so, I would like to have a conversation with you about your faculty-mentored research past experience as part of my dissertation study. The commitment involves a 30-minute individual interview with me this fall.

If this sounds interesting to you, please let me know as soon as possible. I am glad to answer questions that you may have about the interview and my dissertation study. All replies will be confidential. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Michael Nichols
