Update on URAP

The College Undergraduate Research Awards Program (URAP) will not be offered in 2017-18. The College is developing a new undergraduate research initiative for later this year. Students involved in the program will have opportunities to explore and be exposed to faculty-mentored research. We anticipate these will be non-credit/non-stipend activities. Stay tuned for details.

This academic year, if you would like to apply for a funded, faculty-mentored research experience, visit the OSU Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and the Arts (URSA) webpage ; look at the Funding Opportunities: URSA Engage and URISC, and more.

URSA Engage

URSA Engage is designed to establish mentoring relationships for undergraduates, early in their academic programs at OSU. The goal is to provide first and second year students, and transfer students in their first year at OSU, opportunities to pursue research or a creative activity under the guidance of an OSU mentor.

For more information and to apply, please visit: URSA Engage.

Health Professions Week

Health Professions Week (HPW) is an unique opportunity for students interested in a career in the health professions to explore more than 20 diverse, rewarding professions. By registering, students will have the opportunity to talk with practitioners, hear a keynote address from Dr. Kameron Matthews, discover educational pathways, and have a chance to win prizes like one of five $1,000 educational scholarships from Sallie Mae!

For more information and to register, please visit: explorehealthcareers.org/hpw.
