"At Waynesburg University, we emphasize cooperative practices that foster interdisciplinary mentorship and academic support. Instructor of record Kimberly Wise, in collaboration with Jill Peth, Instructional and Electronic Services Librarian, developed The Hunt a multi-faceted research activity for HSC 105: Foundations of Health Science. This activity introduces students to essential research methods while highlighting the resources and services available through Eberly Library. By participating, students enhance their research literacy, deepen their engagement with academic resources, and build both the skills and confidence necessary for scholarly inquiry.
Additionally, the assignment is designed to help first-year students socialize by taking fun selfies and trying on professional attire from the Career Closet."
