Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background.

Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided.

As a freshman, I never imagined that participating in UROP would have such a profound impact on my life. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this program, as it has transformed me in more ways than I could have anticipated. When the time came to choose my research project, I reached out to numerous graduate students and professors via email. At that time, I was in the process of changing my major and felt uncertain about what direction to take. I discovered projects both in my former major of Human Development and Family Sciences and in Communications, which I had recently switched to. Despite being denied the Human Development and Family Sciences project due to my change in major, I ultimately chose to pursue the communications-based project instead. This project was unfamiliar territory for me, and it played a pivotal role in my decision to revert to my previous major. It set me on a path of self-discovery and helped me clarify my aspirations, ultimately guiding me toward a better understanding of what I want to pursue in life. Though I wasn't initially passionate about the project, I dedicated myself to it. Through this commitment, I learned valuable research skills and gained insights into both research methods and current events. These newfound skills have reshaped my view of research. I now recognize its significance in gaining insights into the world and have a greater appreciation for it. This experience changed my view of research after I was able to see the incredible ways it can be used for any field or type of information.
