Undergraduate Research Ambassadors

Undergraduate Research Ambassadors (URAs) help students find research opportunities that fit their interests, time, and needs. URAs give workshops and presentations about research opportunities and basic skills important for getting started in research. They also provide one-on-one support to students who would like individualized help in exploring possibilities, communicating with a research mentor, sharing their research ideas, or preparing an application for a research program.
