Research Pathways is a campus event designed to help undergraduate students explore research at Wesleyan, with a focus on opportunities available this spring and over the summer.

Students will share the research they’re doing at Wes, with opportunities to hear directly about their work and connect with faculty and staff involved in projects and labs.

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.
