Abstract
Despite broad implementation of the collaborative student∆faculty research model, it is clear that all science educators do not understand the term "undergraduate research" in the same way. This range of understanding was addressed specifically last spring at the CUR April Dialogue. In a new approach to fostering active discussion among participants, "special dialogue sessions" were held, that addressed a variety of important questions including "What constitutes undergraduate research?"
