A $35,000 computer database created at Michigan State University (MSU) will connect students with campus research opportunities.
The “Venture” program is a one-of-a-kind, interactive database that allows professors and
faculty to post projects at any time. The university
listing project also allows students to look for and
apply for postings on-line.
“The key is we’re giving students a direction to go
rather than saying, ‘Here, go find a research opportunity,’” says Korine
Steinke with MSU’s Office of the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education.
Students that can’t find research projects that fit their
needs can instead define the type of project they’re looking for, and when a project
fitting that description is posted, the student will be notified by email.
