UROP Leader Information Submission: Submission #260

Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. I hope to become a UROP leader who my students find supportive, welcoming, and encouraging. My goal is to help them succeed in their goals in research and personal goals by sharing the knowledge and experience I’ve gained. Drawing from my line of research, I have learned the importance of perspective and reflecting on the thinking process while teaching and being a student. I hope to bring this into the classroom to help students think more deeply about their work and learning processes. I wish for my students to have growth from start to finish, helping them see how research can be not only meaningful but also fun. Beyond developing research skills, I hope they walk away with life skills—like critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence—that will benefit them far beyond UROP. Most of all, I want them to have the same positive impact and experience I had while being a part of UROP
