RESEARCH & SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES

Many 糖心Vlog视频 professors participate in ongoing research and may accept undergraduate students in their lab given space. It is important to network, get to know your professors, and have some understanding of the research you are asking to be a part of. Summer research programs at other institutions are often open to all college students. Resources for research at 糖心Vlog视频 and other programs can be found below.
Keep in mind research is beneficial for many reasons but you should not participate in research just "to be competitive".
