Join us during weeks one and three to learn more about what it means to move from student to scholar by pursuing knowledge through academic research and taking your inquiry to the next level. You will also learn more about how nationally competitive fellowships can advance your efforts beyond UChicago, helping you to pursue your academic and post-graduate ambitions. We are also offering two sessions on how to engage in successful research and learning in our current remote environment. A collaborative program brought to you by the College Center for Research and Fellowships, the University Library, and the Office of the Provost.

Interested in joining a community of research scholars? This session will address these questions and help you to pursue meaningful undergraduate research activities while at UChicago. Bring your additional questions to this session to participate in a lively discussion about scholarly research and how to be successful in these efforts. New and current undergraduate researchers are welcome and encouraged to attend. Register below for this live session to ask your questions and learn about next steps:

Join us for a panel discussion with academic professionals and students to learn more about how to continue successfully navigating study and research in today’s “remote” learning environment.
