Faculty-Student Collaborative Scholarship (FSCS) has produced many positive outcomes for participants:
With generous support from the Codrington Foundation and the McGregor Fund, the Summer Scholars research program encourages the development of a community of student and faculty scholars and enables students to pursue their own research and creative activities under the supervision of a faculty mentor.

The current issue, "Undergraduate Research: A Path to Engagement, Achievement, and Integration," highlights undergraduate programs that integrate students into the research community through mentored experiences in the various disciplines.
The science poster session is a forum to exhibit student scholarly work:
Conservatory students are constantly engaged in creative work mentored by faculty: http://www.bw.edu/academics/conservatory/events/
Faculty and students publish peer-reviewed papers and books together:

Certain cells of the fetal rat brain receive a signal telling them to self-destruct ( a process called apoptosis). This image shows 3 such cells (in the circle) that are in the apoptotic process. What is the advantage of such programmed cell death? This is still being explored but we know that apoptosis helps ensure that neurons that are not being used are removed - thus saving precious brain energy. This image was captured by 2005 Summer Scholar Haley Bartholomew working in Dr. Mickley's laboratory.
