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.:
I currently serve as a UROP Leader for STEM transfer students, a section that I had hoped to teach when I initially applied for the program. This section has a special place in my heart because choosing to change schools is very brave and the transition can be difficult initially. I hope to be able to facilitate a relationship with my students that communicates support, while helping bridge the gap between research and fun for them. I aspire to help my students find the aspects of their research that bring them joy and challenge them to become better researchers. In addition to this, I want them to understand how their research impacts the world around them and the importance of their work. Choosing to engage in research at an undergraduate level is an incredible accomplishment and rare opportunity, and I want to celebrate students who choose to do it!
