The UROP team is encouraged by the many stories of resilience this year and thank the research and creative community for their high-impact work despite mounting challenges.听 We sincerely appreciate听the many staff working behind the scenes to enable these opportunities from advisors and program coordinators听to the payment team in the Human Resources Service Center.听 We also thank our programming partners in the LEAD Alliance and the constellation of research programs: Biological Sciences Initiative, Discovery Learning Apprenticeship program, YOU'REatCU, McNair, STEM Routes and听others.
Well-documented as transformative learning experiences, engagement in undergraduate research and creative activities increases persistence to graduation, prepares students for the future of work, creates space for belonging鈥攁nd is an effective approach to addressing social justice.听 UROP appreciates the university leadership for prioritizing the funding that makes this possible.听Because we understand that educational environments replicate the inequities of the societies in which they are听located, we are听committed to recruiting and supporting students who are historically underrepresented in undergraduate research and creative work.
