Mentored Research Experiences engage students in authentic research and inquiry that is guided by a YHC faculty member. MREs are opportunities for students to showcase and apply knowledge and skills that they have acquired through the pursuit of their major. MREs are independent projects complete by one student or a small team of students that may build upon previously conducted faculty and student research. Projects are authentic and relevant in that students are tackling important questions and problems in their field with the outcome of the research being unknown.
