Hi Nancy,

 

I hope your spring semester is off to a terrific start. I'm writing to ask
you to please help promote undergraduate research here at UA, through the
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Consortium (UROC).

 

UROC is a partnership of several University of Arizona undergraduate
research programs, led by the Graduate College, which primarily focus on
STEM fields. UROC offers a wide range of 10 week summer undergraduate
research opportunities to help undergraduates prepare for graduate school.
UROC connects students to meaningful research projects, faculty mentors, and
a cohort of like-minded students whose goal is to pursue master's and PhD
degrees. Additionally, students will receive intensive, personalized
preparation for the graduate admission process, including workshops to
prepare for the GRE. 

 

Important Dates

UROC Starts  June 2, 2013 and ends August 7, 2013
