What is your role as a Research Mentor?
The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) is an initiative by the Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement to engage high-achieving undergraduates in the academic culture of research and offer help to Research Mentors. Open to all departments, the program is three-fold:
-
Students participate in a UROP colloquium class that introduces them to the practice of research, provides guest faculty speakers, and offers continuous support and training.
-
Students work as research assistants to Research Mentors (Faculty, Postdocs, Graduate Students, and Campus Partners).
-
Students present their Research Mentors’ projects and their contribution to it at the annual undergraduate research symposium.
UROP Research Mentors will work with student research assistants for an academic year. UROP is currently recruiting Research Mentors to submit projects for which they would like undergraduate research assistants. There is no obligation to take a UROP student if you submit a project; you select the UROP student with whom you would like to work.
