Description
Failure is an essential and often overlooked part of the research process. This session offers an open, discussion-based introduction to understanding failure not as a setback, but as a powerful tool for learning, discovery, and growth. A panel of faculty researchers will share real experiences from their own journeys, highlighting how often failure occurs in research, what it can teach us, and how to navigate the moments when things don’t go as planned.
Together, we’ll explore strategies for reframing failure, building resilience, and developing a mindset that supports creativity, curiosity, and continuous improvement. Whether you’re brand-new to research or have years of experience, this conversation is designed to help you feel more prepared and more confident when facing challenges in your scholarly work.
Open to students at all stages of the research process.
Presented by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (OURS).
