Student TestimonialsMentor Testimonials

Our campus has an expansive history of undergraduate engagement dating to the creation of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) in 1986. A significant body of scholarship has emerged and continues to demonstrate the value of connecting students to the academic and creative life of the campus. With well-documented benefits from persistence and resilience to belonging and graduation, engagement can be transformative—and empowering for marginalized students. UROP is critical to ensuring equitable access for marginalized students by eliminating one of the most significant barriers to participation: funding.
