Buiding a Community of Researchers August 8, 2007

One of the powerful images that came out of our discussions on research last year was the pervasive nature of research.  We want students to see that we are constantly doing research in our everyday lives (buying a shirt at the mall, etc.).  But we also want them to see how people in jobs, also use research.  We hope to invite communtiy members in to talk about how research plays a role in their careers.  We are also going to approach Family and Consumer Science teachers to see if students will ask the people they job shadow how they use research in their work day.  We will also model how research is conducted in the various disciplines.
