My Advice for How to Get Involved in Research:
Start with your interests. What do you find exciting? What do you want to discover more about? Getting into research starts with you and your ideas and from there, you choose the path to finding a project. When do you want to start a project? Who do you want to work with in terms of a faculty mentor? The Office of Undergraduate Research is here to guide you through your journey. Our website has a lot of information and OUR staff love talking to students about their ideas and what kind of research they are considering! Come and talk to us.
