Website connects faculty research mentors with undergraduates
Are you looking to recruit undergraduates to participate in a research activity during the fall semester? The Office of Undergraduate Research in collaboration with RocLab, a student software development club, has created AURA, a new website that connects faculty research mentors with interested undergraduates using a simple and intuitive web interface.
AURA allows research mentors to easily advertise research opportunities and identify students who are best qualified for their projects. Positions posted on AURA will be viewable on the Office of Undergraduate Research website and advertised on the office’s social media platforms.
