Dr. Alyssa Kermad Named as a Faculty Mentor Research STAR |
|
“Rome wasn’t built in a day’ – research takes time and many, many steps. Conceptually speaking, research is asking and answering a question; methodically speaking, research is starting at point A, which after completion lets you move on to point B, point C, and so on and so forth. The process is exhilarating, and the end product is worth every step.”
– Dr. Alyssa Kermad
