Research gives students a sense of empowerment over a body of knowledge and instills in them the confidence to succeed. This empowerment stems from the intense professional relationship that develops between students and faculty mentors and enhances the learning experience. The research presented here gives full evidence of why Hope College is the national leader in Undergraduate Research.
