UPLIFT: Undergraduate Program for Leaders In Future Transformation
Click to Enlarge
The UPLIFT program is an academic year research program for first year students across the College of Engineering. In the fall, students are invited to attend a series of research seminars hosted by faculty. In the spring, selected UPLIFT Students enage directly with CoE Faculty members to conduct research, ~3-5 hours each week. Students are then encouraged to apply for an REU experience in the summer (Links: NSF REU Search | ETAPS REU Applications). Additional support (office hours, monthly networking meetings, and research support) is provided by the Center for STEM Education.
If you are interested in attending UPLIFT seminars in the Fall of 2024 (a requirement to apply for the program), please RSVP here:
