The Undergraduate Research Ambassadors are a team of students with experience in undergraduate research or other scholarly partnerships with faculty who work to help other students pursue and excel in these experiences.
They are happy to answer any questions about the process, from getting involved, to finding a mentor and funding, to presenting at a conference or symposium! The Ambassadors are here to help all students across all majors.
Reach out via Facebook, e-mail, or by attending our virtual, drop-in undergraduate research advising hours on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1-3pm via Zoom to speak with an ambassador!
