Furthermore, several studies show thesignificant role undergraduate research plays in broadening the diversity of the STEM workforce[11, 13-15].At Penn State, students are not permitted to be in a research experience on a volunteer basis. Theunderstanding is that students should earn something beyond experience through their researchengagement.
