Foreword 13 Research represents the systematic, original inquiry into a field that leads to new k<strong>no</strong>wledge. The drive for seeking k<strong>no</strong>wledge, embodied in all members of the UMass Dartmouth community, is a signature component of the UMass Dartmouth educational experience and research is the expression of this search. Since its inception in 2011, the Office of <strong>Undergrad</strong>uate Research has promoted undergraduate research in the arts, humanities, social sciences and all engineering and science fields. The office has financially and intellectually supported student-researchers on their journeys to global fieldwork or travel to national and international conferences. Travels to faraway destinations for conducting research have been transformative for many students. Extensive fieldwork in Okinawa, Japan, compelled the dual major in Photography and Political Science, Lizzy Santoro ’17 to pursue a career in photojournalism. Through individualized advising sessions students have received feedback on research, beyond what is <strong>no</strong>rmally available to them through mentors in their home departments. Over the years, students have learned to solve problems in their areas of interest, make new discoveries and create new artifacts, interact with research faculty outside of the classroom, and demonstrate their intellectual dedication and academic skills to future employers, graduate programs, and internship directors. Workshops, roundtables and lectures on undergraduate research in all fields have brought prominent scholars and researchers to our campus. Additionally, the office has assisted with the dissemination of the products of student research through peer-reviewed publications, blogs, videos, poster sessions, competitions and conferences. Above all, the Office of <strong>Undergrad</strong>uate Research has committed itself to supporting UMass Dartmouth undergraduates in all aspects of their research endeavors by offering research awards. These awards have helped offset the costs of performing research projects, with research being broadly conceived and taking place in any and all disciplines. Many of these awards are commonly granted during the academic year. However, our office has also offered a competitive stipend initiative to facilitate the fulltime research activity of UMass Dartmouth undergraduates during the summer break. Through engaging in research activities that are often beyond the expected coursework, undergraduate students at UMass Dartmouth have also learned to improve time management, enhance their analytical abilities, and embark on leadership roles. Biology major Deborah Dele-Oni ‘<strong>18</strong> (Ho<strong>no</strong>rs), whose work is featured in the present book, was granted an Endeavor Scholarship in leadership. Thus in addition to being a successful Biology student, she became the president and the founding member of a campus organization that supports Black female students. Sometimes
