Student-Led Intellectual Labor
Students are the owners of their intellectual work. Our mentors provide guidance and feedback, but the core ideas and research must be the student's own.

The quality and progress of the research project are entirely dependent on the student's effort. Mentor guidance is a resource, not a guarantee of success.
