Guiding Philosophy The concept relies upon a genuine
Faculty/Student partnership. *Not a mere student project, rather it’s a
collaboration on a genuine contribution to the field.
Faculty leads, but students are relied upon for critical input.
Some students are co-authors while others are publicly identified researchers who are associated with their published work. Analogy given to students: “A published paper
on the net is like a tattoo; it is public and permanent!”
