Immersive, step-by-step experience helps students explore research opportunities, connect with faculty and build career skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

For undergraduates of decades past, research could feel distant. It was something reserved for graduate students or faculty, and separate from the goal of earning a degree.<\/p>\n

But UND is determined to change that perception. And one of the ways it\u2019s doing so is through the Undergraduate Research & Scholarly Activity Grand Journey, an event that organizers turned into something students could literally walk through.<\/p>\n

Designed as an immersive experience \u2014 part guided hike, part road trip \u2014 the Grand Journey invited students to follow a mapped path of four \u201cinterest points\u201d: Destination Drive, Preparation Point, Exploration Road and Discovery Junction. Each stop represented a different stage in the undergraduate research process.<\/p>\n

But instead of starting at the beginning, the path worked backward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to demystify it,\u201d said Shari Nelson<\/a><\/strong>, UND\u2019s experiential learning coordinator. \u201cResearch showcases are great, but they can also be kind of intimidating. You walk in and see this amazing research going on and think, \u2018How am I going to get there?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

By beginning at Destination Drive \u2014 where students presented research in progress \u2014 attendees first saw the end goal. From there, they moved step by step back through the process, learning how to get involved and where to go next.<\/p>\n

At the first stop, students gathered around poster displays, talking directly with their peers about projects already underway before continuing on to the next stage.<\/p>\n

Rather than simply observing research, students were encouraged to see themselves in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want them to understand that research isn\u2019t this unreachable thing,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cIt\u2019s something they can step into, one piece at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building skills for the future<\/h2>\n

That step-by-step approach also highlights something central to URSA\u2019s mission of emphasizing research as a way to prepare students for the workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmployers are looking for students who can think critically, solve problems and communicate effectively,\u201d said Chelsea Mellenthin<\/a><\/strong>, director for Career Engagement. \u201cResearch gives students a chance to practice all of those skills in a really tangible way.\u201d<\/p>\n

By connecting each stop on the journey to real-world skills \u2014 from forming questions to presenting findings \u2014 the event showed that research is a natural extension of the skills honed in the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou start to see how what you\u2019re learning actually matters,\u201d said Alexander Samardzic, a recent UND graduate presenting his work on breast cancer cell research. \u201cIt\u2019s not just theory anymore; you\u2019re part of something that could help people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samardzic, who will attend the School of Medicine & Health Sciences later this year, said working in a lab helped him better understand the value of what he was learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, it feels intimidating,\u201d he said. \u201cBut once you get into it, you realize it\u2019s something you can actually do. It makes what you\u2019re studying more meaningful because you can see how it applies outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finding a place to start<\/h2>\n

Samardzic\u2019s experience is common among students taking their first steps into research \u2014 and that starting point was a central element of the Grand Journey experience.<\/p>\n

Rather than focusing only on polished final projects, the event encouraged conversation. Students were invited to speak with presenters, faculty and staff, using prompts on their maps to help get those conversations started.<\/p>\n

For Taylor Valdez, who presented astrophysics research focused on stellar phenomena, that starting point came from a long-standing interest in space that gradually became something more structured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in it,\u201d Valdez said. \u201cResearch gave me a way to actually explore those questions and see what it\u2019s like to work through them.\u201d<\/p>\n

As organizers encouraged attendees to do, Valdez began her own research journey by introducing herself to professor of astrophysics Wayne Barkhouse<\/a><\/strong> and asking to get involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just jumped down and I was like, \u2018I want to do research with you,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been three years now, and he\u2019s still my mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not every student takes that direct path. Many of those presenting said they didn\u2019t know what kind of research they wanted to pursue until later in their academic careers \u2014 something Nelson said is entirely expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no one way to get started,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cWe want students to see that wherever they are, there\u2019s a next step they can take.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing the path to research in new ways<\/h2>\n

By the time students reached the final stop \u2014 Discovery Junction \u2014 the goal was for research to feel less like a distant endpoint and more like an ongoing and evolving part of their university experience.<\/p>\n

Nelson described the layout as \u201cbackwards,\u201d but it helped break the journey to research down to a step by step series of\u00a0 decisions: find a topic, connect with a mentor, ask questions and build skills through research.<\/p>\n

The final two rooms \u2014 Discovery Junction and Exploration Road \u2014 offered plenty of accessible ways to interact with hands-on displays and activities \u2014 including opportunities to experiment with equipment such as drones and learn about research-adjacent UND programs. The idea was that research starts with an interest.<\/p>\n

This, Valdez said, is one of the best parts of undergraduate research and exactly why she recommends other students getting involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps you figure out what you actually enjoy doing,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re not just learning it \u2014 you\u2019re experiencing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Mellenthin, this takeaway was their goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch isn\u2019t just for students who are planning to go into academia,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s for anyone who wants to think critically, adapt and communicate \u2014 skills that are valuable in any career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
