• We meet with and see our students and advisees regularly.  Faculty and students interact on a daily basis and faculty members are on campus. To ensure faculty-student connections and student success, faculty members serve as advisors and meet formally and face-to-face with each advisee one time per semester.
• We engage in Collaborative Faculty and Student Research. Since 2010 we have engaged in collaborative research with students. We have presented at our national conference (NASP) and at state conferences (both OSPA and MASP). We work to publish collaborative research in peer-reviewed journals.
