Preparing Students For the World through Undergraduate Research: Bethany Usher at TEDxGeorgeMasonU
Dr. Bethany Usher spends as much time as possible in graveyards - she is a biological anthropologist who studies cemeteries from both osteological and archaeological perspectives to understand the social structure and health of past communities. Bethany directs the Students as Scholars initiative through the Office of Student Scholarship, Creative Activities, and Research (OSCAR), and serves as an Associate Director of the Center for Teaching and Faculty Excellence (CTFE). She is also a Councilor for Undergraduate Research Program Division of the Council on Undergraduate Research. Her talk discusses some of the advances that the OSCAR program has made at Mason. She also discusses how students who participate in undergraduate research, including herself, are much more prepared compared to their peers.
