Abstract
The programs, publications, meetings, and services of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) are expressly designed to share successful models and strategies for establishing and institutionalizing undergraduate research programs. A research-supportive curriculum that provides undergraduates with a learning experience rooted in the process of discovery is a critical factor in establishing a strong research culture on campus. The newest publication of CUR, Reinvigorating the Undergraduate Experience: Successful Models Supported by NSF's AIRE/RAIRE Program, is a collection of case studies highlighting twenty institutions that have successfully transformed the undergraduate experience through an integration of research and education.
