Students, please review the most common questions about the impacts of the COVID-19 situation on experiential learning below.
How does the suspension of the research symposium affect me completing my research project, and how does it impact my grade?
Treat your research project as you would if you were physically campus. You are expected to complete the project on time, and when you do so, you will receive your stipend. While you will not be presenting your work publicly at the symposium we are discussing opportunities to publish or showcase all 2020 student research symposium artifacts in the fall. More details will follow.
How will my workload change as a student researcher working for the Center for Undergraduate Research?
Students currently working for the Center for Undergraduate Research should have received an email from Dr. Lynch regarding completing their work requirements. For further questions contact mlynch@Lincoln.edu.
How can I enter, track, and verify my service hours?
Students should log into Engaged Lincoln Lions using your Lincoln email and click add impact. Enter your service information and the servicing community partner’s, contact information.
