Welcome to the Science and Research Office. This office was established
to increase access to opportunities for science majors
by connecting them with existing opportunities and by cultivating
new opportunities with academic and corporate laboratories. These
opportunities may be in a number of venues, including on campus,
the local metropolitan area, cities in the US and international
locations.
Research collaborations are pivotal for students because they provide
an opportunity for students to learn to "do" science,
augmenting their intellectual grasp of scientific principles with
the practical skills and problem-solving by which science advances.
Experiential learning opportunities provide an opportunity for students to gain knowledge in a context outside of the classroom.
This year we are piloting the Electronic Student Research Application (ESRA). FIND OUT MORE»
Students Participate in Exciting Program at Mayo Clinic
The Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (MISP) is a collaborative effort between the Mayo Clinic and selected Minnesota private colleges and universities, with financial support from the Medtronic Foundation and Mayo Clinic Office of Intellectual Property, and administrative support from the Minnesota Private College Council. Teams of 4 or 5 undergraduate science and economics majors assist in the assessment of new product submissions by researchers at Mayo Clinic. Each student team is directed by a master's level student and is advised by a Licensing Manager from the Mayo Clinic Office of Intellectual Property. The student teams gain valuable insights and experience in the translational process associated with inventions and product development. The experience culminates with a presentation of the team's research findings, in the form of a business plan, to Mayo Licensing Managers, representatives from the MN Private College Council, the Medtronic Foundation and participating colleges. The presentation is at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Students participating in the Mayo Scholars Program in 09/10 include Chen Gu, David Lopez, Philip Titcombe and Varini Sharma. For more information about MISP go to www.mnprivatecolleges.org/misp.
