  selected_response: 'I am thrilled to be a UROP leader so that I can be an extra support system for my students. Research is intimidating as an undergraduate, and can come with lots of unanswered questions. As a leader, I hope to give the advice to my students that I wish I had when first beginning research and starting my career. I want my students to feel as though they can ask me for help with anything!'
