The Writing Center is supported by the University Writing Program, the College of the Humanities and student fees. continued from Page A3 worked with young children to make sure they know that universities have a place for them. "Students don't have to do research in their discipline," Baeder said. "I see business students really wanting to work in the medical labs, and that's fine as well. The research going on in upper campus is stimulating." "Research helps class work," Baeder said. "If a student is involved in a lab, there are no better people to help with your homework." Though mostly juniors and seniors take advantage of UROP, it is open to freshmen and sophomores as well. MEDICAL continued from Page A7 out interests quicker for specialty choice later on. A lot of kids, when they go to medical school, don't know what kind of doctor they want to be." That hands-on experience can be helpful to many students in medical-degree programs at the U because they don't specialize until after they graduate. "They graduate with a generic M.D. degree," explained Karen Anastasopoulos, director of administration at the School of Medicine. That's why the M.D. program is housed in the Dean's office, which is more or less the "home base for medical students," Anastasopoulos said. It can't be housed in other areas because it isn't a specialized degree. Lauder stressed that the kind of hands-on experience medical students at the U receive is vital in helping them grow into their own element as medical professionals. "They're working with doctors who are in the field. They can give them pointers...They can even tell them the types of patients they're going to see, the kind of money they're going to be making. It kind of gives them a head start," she said. CAMPUS continued from Page A7 "The vast majority of our students report being very happy with the classes," said Brandon Garcia, director of public relations for the Continuing Education program. "In 2010 alone, • 40 •P • 4. • "The U is such a lucky place to be. Research benefits all students, and no one student should walk away from the U without a research experience," said Baeder. Students interested in doing undergraduate research should visit the UROP office in the Sill Center six to eight weeks before each semester's application deadline. Students don't have to labor through years of theoretical study before getting their feet wet. Lauder said they can jump into the clinics early. "They're actually doing that their first and second year of school," she said. "They're actually in clinics," Students also volunteer in various capacities as part of their program. They might dissect a cow's heart in front of younger students in the area, for example. It's a way for U medical students to interact with children who may want to be doctors someday, and help teach them about the world of medicine while increasing their own knowledge. Patients at the University Hospital might see medical students working with doctors during exams. Lauder said it's a "teaching hospital," and it is yet another way students can directly apply what they've been learning. The purpose of all this, Lauder said, is to make students more well-rounded and "more ready for the workforce as far as being a doctor." All of the efforts to give students hands-on experience help both the students and the school as a whole. "I think that sets us apart," Lauder said. n.dunn@ chronicle.utah.edu Continuing Education enrolled 15,107 students who took a total of over 30,000 classes through our department." Other benefits of the Continuing Education locations include free parking and small class sizes, Geoff said. Textbooks are also delivered to the campuses at the beginning of each semes- ter, making it easy for students to get the required reading material directly from the sites they'll be frequenting.
