This guide is no longer maintained. It is strictly for historical purposes and was used as we developed U Research.
U Research is MC's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The focus of U Research is the development of information literacy competencies in undergraduate students. Our QEP is a campus-wide initiative that has the potential to make a meaningful and lasting effect on our students’ success. While the QEP is a requirement for reaffirmation of SACS accreditation, it is also a reflection of our commitment to improve student learning.
U Research is not just another program. It is a chance to be better at what we do!
Engage. Empower. Enhance.
