Centering Students Through Undergraduate Research (Part 1) - On Campus Podcast
In this episode of On Campus, we dive into the power of undergraduate research as a catalyst for student engagement. Host Ed Butch and special guest co-host Alexa McClellan (of CITI Program’s On Research podcast) welcome Dr. Lisa Piazza, Executive Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Together, they explore how research experiences—especially in the early college years—can ignite curiosity, develop critical thinking, and help students connect more deeply with their education. Dr. Piazza shares her own journey, the value of mentorship, and how research can empower students to find their voice, regardless of major or background. It’s a conversation that reimagines how institutions can engage undergraduates in transformative ways.
