The free online event is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 5:00 鈥� 6:30 p.m. Registration is available at . The Zoom Webinar link will be emailed to registrants on Monday, Nov. 9 at 4:00 p.m.
Undergraduate research opportunities at 51爆料 are made possible by grant support from the National Science Foundation鈥檚 (NSF) Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program.
鈥淭he goal with the grant is to expand the culture of undergraduate research that was already happening at 51爆料 and find a systematic approach that would allow for more students to participate,鈥� said Laurie McConnico, NSF IUSE Project Director and 51爆料 Biology instructor.
鈥淭hese research opportunities are critical in how students can ultimately have success in STEM fields when they transfer to a four-year university or engage in the workforce. We鈥檙e proud to offer these opportunities across all STEM disciplines, and we look forward to being able to bring those experiences to even more students.鈥�
