Undergraduate research work takes many forms but is characterized by a spirit of inquiry, participation in the active conversation of a scholarly, professional or creative field of study, and guidance by a faculty mentor. Student research and creative projects may be produced by students at all levels in classes, labs, recitals, as part of a distinction or thesis program, or independently.  Participating in undergraduate research helps you apply what you are learning in class, find a mentor, improve your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and pursue a topic that fascinates you.

SOURCE offers weekly information sessions to help you get started thinking about your participation in research activities and to connect you with the appropriate resources.

A student can only be awarded a SOURCE Bridge Grant, Honors Academic Enhancement Grant (only honors students are eligible) or other University Grant and cannot be awarded any of these grants at the same time.
