Wow, what a great tribute to Professor MacVicar. I was here as an undergraduate at MIT when she died and I really didn't have a sense of who she was, just that she had founded UROP and that everyone was devastated by her death. It was great to hear the comments of her student in this video.

Professor MacVicar came to Utah State University to advise on starting an undergraduate research program, which came into being in 1975. USU celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2010. We owe a great deal to Professor MacVicar. This video is a fabulous tribute to a person who had a tremendous influence not only on her home institution but also on universities across the nation.
