: Qualitative Results from a Multi-Year SurveyAbstractWe identify and discuss themes that emerged from a study of undergraduates participating in asummer research program at Michigan State University. The goals of this study were: (1) toexamine the degree to which program participation diverted students from summer activities thatdid not further their academic or career goals; (2) to better understand students’ goals forparticipating in research; and (3) to assess student satisfaction with the research program.Students were asked to complete pre- and post-experience surveys; these two survey instrumentswere deployed during multiple summer programs over a four-year time period (2011-2014),resulting in four sets of pre- and post-survey data from more
