Office of Undergraduate Research

In this interactive workshop, you will learn the ins and outs of finding a research mentor as an undergraduate. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with concrete steps tailored to your unique interests to move forward with your undergraduate research journey.

Join the Office of Undergraduate Research on Thursday, February 20th at 2:30pm for an online session focusing on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools for Science Research. Renee Walsh, STEM Librarian in the Research Services area of the UConn Library, will be presenting this session. If you are currently engaged in research in a STEM discipline or you are planning to do so, we encourage you to learn about the various artificial intelligence tools that are available and how you might utilize them.
