Have you wanted to get involved in undergraduate research but don’t know where to begin? We’re here to help!
The Mentors host a research BBQ in the spring where principal investigators and research personnel from all across campus come to speak to students in an informal setting about how they can get involved. Our guests come from many different backgrounds, and it is the Mentor’s goal to make these events as inclusive to ALL majors!
