As you think about getting involved in undergraduate research, it is important to keep in mind the following:
- The “right” opportunity for you is one that aligns with your interests and learning goals.
- Most opportunities to participate in research or creative activity on campus are never formally advertised; if you restrict your search to advertised opportunities, you will miss out on these other possibilities.
- A proactive strategy of outreach to potential mentors is the best approach for developing opportunities that match your goals and interests.
