The Center for Student Research recently announced the 2020 Undergraduate Research Academy (URA) Awardees. LAS was very well represented, our faculty and students making up 80% of the awardees.
Each student-faculty pair will be funded with up to a $3,500 stipend for their work and materials. Students will also take part in a workshop series to help develop their researcher skills. These student-faculty pairs will collaborate on exciting research and further knowledge within their disciplines this fall! Please join us in congratulating them!
