Abstract	This article describes the involvement of undergraduate students in research at the California State University (CSU), Chico funded through an Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). CSU, Chico is a "teaching" university and has students with a variety of motivations and abilities. The 3-year research project on health and well being in the Mexican American community involved students in all phases, and resulted in numerous student research presentations. The author asserts that research involvement is sound pedagogy according to The Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. Benefits to students and researchers/teachers include enhanced student learning, greater researcher status, and improved institutional reputation. Finally, some of the difficulties and suggestions for overcoming them are discussed. (Author).
