Undergraduate Research
Benefits TO STUDENTS
Enhances deeper learning, practical experiences, and applications
As I listened to various researchers, share how they all started and their journey so far, my fears were taken away. I came to understand that one must not first be an expert or a genius before you can venture. I want this experience to be a guide into the future.
