UROP Fundraising

Research labs play a crucial role in ³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s culture and educational experience.

Being able to work directly with professors and contribute to highly specialized research as an undergraduate is a rare opportunity not a lot of other colleges offer. The learning opportunities beyond the classroom and the freedom to delve into advanced fields of engineering lead to around 40-50 students being involved in research throughout the school year.  

However, research doesn’t stop with the school year. Every year roughly 60 – 70 students earn the exciting opportunity to stay on campus over the summer to continue their research in a paid position. The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) provides critical funding resources to support this endeavor with generous donations from a vast range of donors. Established in 2016, UROP supports undergraduate research programming led by a diverse set of professors and students conducting research that focuses on community engagement, human needs, and creative solutions. Your funds will support research educational sessions, student publication costs, the ³Ô¹ÏÍø Undergraduate Research Journal (OUR-J), student research pay, and more. 

Your gift will allow us to broaden our research initiatives, creating more opportunities for our students!
