Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?
Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. As a UROP leader, I hope to inspire my students to understand the importance of research in the social science fields. Students often think of research being in a lab and science based, but I hope my students can understand through my class that advocacy and research can be more that! I also hope to give them a mentor throughout their experience at Florida State, a connection to have in the future, and someone to expose them to all the resources our university has to offer!
