Connect! [Fall 2007]

Vol. 2, No. 1 • Fall 2007. Connect! is published three times a year by the University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development for alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the College."Research at all levels informs and supports the College’s vision to serve as a model for engagement. As this issue makes clear, the power of discovery is not just the provenance of our faculty members; it is an integral part of the undergraduate and graduate student experience. Student research, particularly at the undergraduate level, is also a key step toward the University’s goal of becoming a top three public research institution. Our students benefit from the resources of a Research I university and our faculty members’ dedication to incorporating a positive and meaningful research experience into learning." (From Dean Bailey
