When Lincoln Potts first walked onto WKU’s campus as a Gatton Academy student, research wasn’t part of his plan. “I initially didn’t want to research,” he admitted. “I was like, I don’t know about all that—that’s some really nerdy stuff I would never do.” But watching his classmates pursue projects that combined creativity and discipline changed his mind. “I saw all these people doing these research projects, and they were actually putting in work and getting stuff out of it. I thought, I should probably at least try it.” |
