The Work-Study Research Assistant Program, coordinated by the Office of Undergraduate Research, provides undergraduate students who have a federal work-study award with an opportunity to develop research skills and explore their academic interests by working as a research assistant under the supervision of a faculty mentor. These meaningful research assistant positions allow students to develop foundational research skills that they can build on as they progress through their academic career. Faculty who are interested in engaging an undergraduate student in their research activities can hire a student through this program at no cost as students are funded through their federal work-study awards.
The Office of Undergraduate Research will be hosting virtual information sessions for faculty and staff to learn about the WSRAP Program and ask questions. The first two sessions are noted below; additional sessions will be added later this summer.
- Tuesday, May 28 at 11:00am (WebEx)
- Wednesday, May 29 at 11:00am (WebEx).
