Research Pathways will include:

  • On-campus research opportunities for the spring and summer
  • Clear guidance on getting started, including for students with no prior research experience
  • Conversations with faculty, staff, and students involved in research
  • Student perspectives on research opportunities and experiences

Open to all undergraduate students, especially those who are curious about research and unsure where to begin.
