Authentic research and experiential learning experiences are critical in undergraduate student retention and success. However, connecting students to the best opportunity for their educational goals, particularly under resource-limited conditions, is challenging. We started an annual departmental open-house event, called BioCrawl, where we open our teaching and research labs for two hours on a Friday afternoon to allow students to explore all the opportunities we offer. Through the voluntary participant survey implemented at each event, we have learned the following: First, we were able to engage first-year students with assistance from their professors. Second, current research students are enthusiastic and very effective spokespersons for undergraduate research. Third, we can leverage this event to network with other campus units, such as enrollment management to combat the potential declining enrollment concern. In summary, this new tradition is enhancing the transparency for current and prospective students to pursue these high impact learning experiences.
