Abstract Draft
This explores strategies for effectively integrating undergraduate research (UGR) initiatives within writing studies. Drawing on current scholarship and successful case studies, speakers will provide participants with practical tools and approaches for designing and implementing projects, including project ideation, mentorship strategies, and ethical
considerations. Participants will leave with a concrete action plan for developing and sustaining undergraduate research initiatives in their own writing programs.
