Students will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding application processes, program details, scholarship opportunities, and so on to some of the coordinators of these research programs. This will help them prepare in advance for the summer research program of their interest throughout the school year.

The Do's and Don'ts of a Student Researcher
The Do’s and Don’ts of a Student Researcher workshop was adapted from a previous workshop that focused on research ethics. This year, to make the workshop more applicable to a wide range of students, we wanted to focus the workshop to show a small emphasis on research ethics (e.g falsifying data), but a broader emphasis on what’s expected as a student researcher and what outcomes they can realistically expect as an undergraduate student (e.g can they publish a paper). The workshop will be Q&A style with participants being encouraged to submit questions beforehand.s.
