Bailey College Undergraduate Research Fund
Undergraduate research defines the student and faculty experience in the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics. This formative teacher-scholar dynamic provides valuable co-curricular opportunities along with critical hands-on skills that make students more competitive post-graduation. That is the essence of Learn by Doing.
Undergraduates who participate in research develop close mentor/mentee relationships and become part of communities with lifelong personal and professional connections.
All students and faculty who wish to participate in undergraduate research should be able to do so. This requires funding to provide students stipends or an hourly wage, ensuring that the opportunity is available to all deserving students, irregardless of their financial status. Funding also ensures that faculty have a sustainable pathway for their research with students, allowing them to focus on teaching with research as an extension of the classroom.

LEARN BY DOING
It's more than our motto. It is the foundation of education in Cal Poly and the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics. It's what you experienced here, what you value in the Cal Poly alumni you've hired or the industry partnerships you've established on campus.
It means bright, motivated students working closely with dedicated professors, doing in the laboratories and community what they study in the classroom. It is hands-on experience in real-world research that gives students the skills and confidence to become leaders in science, education, industry and medicine. It is the reason the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics students thrive in this increasingly scientific and technological world.
We need your help to continue providing these Learn by Doing opportunities. Your support makes a tremendous difference to the next generation of scientists, medical professionals, teachers and industry leaders.
