The Center for Undergraduate Fellowships and Research supports students pursuing undergraduate research through one-on-one advising, workshops, and scholarships. You can start your research journey in many ways and as soon as your first day on campus. Meet with faculty and staff in your discipline and ask about their research or research opportunities in your school or college. Don’t be intimidated. Ask all the questions. Faculty and staff were once where you were and where they are now started with an idea, a question, a meeting, a mentor.
