The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) launched this spring, embraces the idea that undergraduates should be actively involved in learning, creating, researching, and developing ideas as part of the natural discovery process. Titled “LSU Discover,” the QEP expands opportunities for all LSU students to participate in projects that will give them not only a better understanding of their fields but also a leg up on their careers after they graduate. In “A Head Start,” Brenda Macon reveals the breadth and variety of talent among LSU’s undergraduates.
