BIO

I am a second-year Honors student at Florida State majoring in Criminology. As an active member on campus, I am involved with the Cuban-American Student Association (CASA), Catholic Student Union (CSU), Hispanic Honor Society (HHS), and hold a leadership position in Lambda Alpha Epsilon, a criminal justice fraternity at FSU. I learned a great deal about sociological and qualitative research, and such methods considerably overlap with current research methods done by criminologists.

Undergraduate Research Scholars’ Reflection: What we Learned about COVID-19 and Fraternity and Sorority Life

Abstract

This poster will be presented at the Southern Sociological Society Annual Conference and will showcase what two undergraduate students learned during their year-long Research Apprenticeship. The students learned introductory research skills including how to interview participants and analyze qualitative data. These students are part of the FSU Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) which provides high-achieving students an opportunity to explore their interest in research. Preliminary results of the research project will also be presented.
