OPPORTUNITY, DISCOVERY AND GROWTH: INSIDE UNCG’S UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS PROGRAM At UNC Greensboro, research opportunities begin early – sometimes as soon as a student arrives on campus.

Each year, around 70 high-achieving students are selected to join the Undergraduate Research Fellows Program. The program introduces first-year students to the world of research, mentorship, and creative inquiry across disciplines.

“Being able to talk with professors who are engaging in research in biology and psychology was eye-opening,” says Kaylen Williamson, a current fellow and first-year planning to major in those subjects. “I didn’t really know what research was from a holistic view, but now I understand what I can do.” Click the Link in the comments to learn more!

Congratulations to Bashar on representing UNCG at the SNCURCS conference this past weekend! Bashar Al-Janabi, a first-generation college student studying Political Science with a concentration in Pre-Law and minors in Philosophical Ethics and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, presented his research titled “In God’s Name: Christianity’s Role in Shaping American Society.” His project examines how Christianity has normalized patriarchal structures in the United States. Using twenty scholarly sources and eleven interviews, he identifies three main patterns: (1) reinforcement of male authority, (2) influence on institutions and policy, and (3) disproportionate burdens on marginalized groups. His work calls for deeper theological critique and policy reform.
