Projects involving students more directly in research, evaluation, and teaching in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota are described in this newsletter issue. Results of the projects seem to underscore the role that student-faculty relationships play in the growth and development of college students. It is suggested that with more student involvement, personal relationships between student and faculty may be enriched. These relationships develop through the process of sharing work and ideas, both inside the classroom in the exploration of teaching and learning styles, and outside the classroom through research and time together. The following college programs are described: Faculty Visitor Program, St. Olaf College, Minnesota; Student-Mentor Projects, Augustana College, South Dakota; Student Research Fellowships--Bush Program for Faculty Development, Macalester College, Minnesota; Beyond the Classroom, College of St. Thomas, Minnesota; Support for Part-Time Faculty, College of St. Scholastica, Minnesota; and Global Awareness: A Curricular Challenge, St. Cloud University and Moorhead State University, Minnesota.
