Undergraduate Research: Mentors Wanted

Faculty members have had a lot of success working with students on grant-funded research, other faculty-driven projects or working with students on student-directed research. Our undergraduate students are very talented, and this program is restricted to our highest-performing students. In the past, students have helped with literature reviews, collected and analyzed data, and written up study results. 


If you are interested, please fill out this very short survey before Feb. 28.


It should take about 5 minutes. This survey will help match students who are interested in your research and have the skills to help you move projects forward. Students have been encouraged to reach out to faculty with whom they share a research interest – so don’t be surprised if a student contacts you. If you haven’t participated in 395 before but would like to learn more, please read the attached FAQ or email Sarah Vos ([email protected]).
