Undergraduate Research

ONS on Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research experiences can provide valuable opportunities for students to explore questions and interests outside the traditional classroom. Research can also be an important element of or complement to national scholarship applications.

We believe in scholarly inqiuiry that follows the cycle shown below - work that emerges from your own personal narrative, inspiring engagement with opportunities and support, which empowers action. This creates new narratives for students to continue building on as they shape their academic and professional journey.
