Undergraduate Research Scholars Program “brings together first- and second- year undergraduates, and transfer students with faculty and staff to enhance the university’s mission of research and creative endeavor. Students begin their research in the fall semester and are expected to stay with the same project through the spring as well as presenting their research and creative work projects at the Undergraduate Symposium.”
