Get Started With Undergraduate Research
You have already taken the most important step by asking this question! Here are the next steps:

During your meetings, ask about the faculty members' areas of interest and if they are currently working on any projects that could use your assistance. Don't be disappointed if they cannot plug you into a project right away. You may also ask about other faculty in your discipline or other disciplines.
If you do not have success with the above strategy, make an appointment with the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship (OURCS) by e-mailing OURCS@callutheran.edu. The Director may be able to help identify appropriate faculty members for you to approach.
