Hageman invited to speak at MANU faculty conferenceBy - September 22, 2008 - 9:56 amEmail this article | Printer friendly page After making a presentation on "Quality Undergraduate Research, MacGyver Style," at the third annual Midwestern Conference on Research and Predominately Undergraduate Institutions, Scott Hageman, associate professor of geology, was invited to speak at the MidAmerica Nazarene University faculty conference on Aug. 15 in Olathe, Kansas. Hageman's talk emphasized how to do undergraduate research with little money, get faculty to recognize their research potential and how to design courses with research as the final product. The ultimate reward came when Hageman was notified that MANU is calling its faculty endowed awards this year the MacGyver Awards. In addition, two MANU faculty members have already developed a service learning project based on Hageman's statement that "research is all around us. We simply need to recognize that what we do can, and should, become research." |
