This paper describes and advocates for the experiences of engaging undergraduate students in collaborative faculty mentored scholarly research in cybersecurity. The benefits of engaging these students in discipline related research early in their undergraduate studies include: developing teamwork skills, improving creative problem solving abilities, creating a better understanding of career options within computing, and fostering an enthusiasm for the subject material that should improve retention of computing majors.
