One-time activities such as campus tours, city orientation, lab safety training, library methods, and research compliance introduction. • Weekly research seminars. These were held at a regularly scheduled time such as Thursdays from 9:00-10:30 a.m. so that everyone could plan to fit them into their summer schedules. Seminars have included research ethics, research topics across STEM and non-STEM disciplines, collaboration, applying to graduate school, research-related careers, and much more. • Networking

GraduatesABSTRACTThere is something universal about obtaining a degree from an accredited university; it is alicense to call oneself educated. In recognizing this certification of erudition, society setsrelatively simple standards that can be difficult to achieve. The graduate must be able to addressdifficult problems coherently, bringing to bear a mixture of knowledge, empathy, skills, andmoral and ethical standards. Within this framework, society allows for specialization. Lawyersare not asked to design airplanes nor doctors to write complex opinions on the meaning of recentacts of Congress. There is, however, an underlying expectation of core knowledge which isinescapable. Any college graduate, for example, should be able to read or write a paper on acomplex
