Why Do Research, Scholarship or Creative Projects?
Research and creative projects are an integral component of your academic experience at ESU, whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student. Becoming involved in research and creative projects can set you apart from your peers. Your experience at ESU will allow you to pursue your interests, practice and master problem-solving skills, learn other new skills such as leadership and communication, and prepare you for further higher education or for your new career. You are curious. Research allows you to pursue your curiosity.
Advantage
Take advantage of every opportunity while at ESU to make the most of your college experience. Actively engaging in projects, whether in a laboratory, a library, music or art studio, or elsewhere on campus, is a good way of developing all of your talents. Being involved may allow you the opportunity to present at a professional conference, co-author and publish a paper, or lead to other opportunities. What a better advantage than that?
