Faculty Mentor (Principal Investigator) Approval

Undergraduate research is always faculty mentored. Most undergraduate researchers' faculty mentors are the Principal Investigator who is the faculty member who "owns" the research, oversees the lab, hires the Post Docs, etc. The Undergraduate Research Office must know that the Principal Investigator approves of your plan to present your project at Intersections. We know this when your Principal Investigator approves your abstract.

CWRU students need not have conducted the research on the Case Western Reserve campus to present at Intersections (e.g. students who want to present their summer research). The research must have been done when students were undergraduates and not prior to your college enrollment. Presenters must provide the name, institution and email of the non-CWRU mentor (and PI if different) with whom they worked. The project mentor (or PI if different) must approve the research presentation by approving the abstract submission.
