 I'm Rachelle Bernasoli, the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholar Development here at Carnegie Mellon University, and we do a couple of really fun and important things in our office. We work with all undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing research. We do a lot of advising work and, you know, sort of informational work with them. We go out to classes and orientation sessions and do a lot of one-on-one meetings with students, helping them to understand what research might look like for them as undergraduate students, how they can get started in research, find research mentors, even just figure out what their interests are. So that's one really important and fun side of what we do in our office. And then on the other side, we work with both undergraduate and graduate students on a whole host of competitive fellowships and scholarships, and so things that many people might have heard of before, such as Fulbright Grants or Rhodes Scholarships or NSF, a Graduate Research Fellowship. So, you know, from beginning to end, recruiting people to apply for these things and sort of shepherding them through the processes, we do a lot of work with students in those awards as well. Let's see. I first heard about elements when I contacted the libraries, Keith Webster and Jason Glenn in particular, about how we might be able to find and leverage data about faculty career accomplishments, their educational backgrounds, parts of the world they might have experience in, different sorts of awards and distinctions they may have earned over the course of their careers. And so we didn't really know much about elements, maybe just had heard it in name a little bit, and then through our conversations with the libraries, realized what a powerful tool it is. Currently, we've just finished working with the wonderful team at the libraries on a data dashboard that's drawing from elements that will allow us to search for faculty who have certain characteristics in their scholarly backgrounds or experiences with certain countries or regions or have held certain kinds of positions maybe in the policy world or something like that. And so with this new dashboard tool that draws from elements, we're able to seek out faculty with the right kinds of experience for the different kinds of scholarship and fellowship processes that we have to conduct on campus. So for example, if we know that we have someone who's applying for a Fulbright grant to do computer science research in Germany, we can now use elements as a great tool to seek out faculty who have disciplinary expertise and also country expertise to be on a committee to help us guide that applicant to the strongest Fulbright application possible. So that's one important way that it has really improved our process and the way that we're able to go about this important work and help even more Carnegie Mellon students and alumni go out and get these really exciting prestigious awards. On the other side, because we help guide so many students through the process of defining their research interests and finding their way into research opportunities, elements is also incredibly helpful for seeking out the right kinds of expertise on campus where we can direct students to explore research possibilities. On the one hand, we could go to different departmental websites and look at faculty profiles that way, but elements is actually a way more nimble and functional in the sense that if we know we have a student who's, for example, interested in something like dark matter, we can put that in as a keyword search into elements and see what comes out of it. I think that this is such a powerful tool for all sorts of campus stakeholders, students, faculty and staff alike. It is a large organization. We're a research one university. We have so much going on. Our faculty are doing really exciting work in nearly every field of study that you can think of, and they hold important positions both within the university and outside of it, but it's really hard to sort of harness all of that information. Elements makes that possible, and so for anyone who has any reason to seek out any sort of expertise or experience of any kind, elements really makes that possible. I think as more people catch on and start to use it and leverage the really rich data within elements, people will start to see just how amazing all of the productivity at our university is.
