Curious about research? Want to know what other students are working on, and how they got started? Want to hear from graduate students who are further along in their career? Need advice about how to develop a research question or about how to find funding for a research project?
Undergraduate Research and Fellowships invites you to take part in a series of sessions that takes a closer look at what research is, how to get started as an undergraduate researcher, and what paths to a career in research may look like after completing your undergraduate degree.
Sessions are open to all undergraduate schools of Columbia University.
