Every summer, new and continuing UT undergraduate researchers get paid to assist with short-term opportunities here at UT and across the country through Research Experienced for Undergraduates (REUs). Summer REUs are for everyone, regardless of experience, and they aren’t just for STEM majors.

With most deadlines coming up in January and February, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships is offering advising, writing support, and workshops for students searching and applying for summer REUs.

Everyone says to go abroad and go find research opportunities, but when are you supposed to find time for this? What if it’s not exactly what you hope for? What if you don’t know where to even start?

Regardless of what year you are as a student, we at URF know these decisions can be stressful! That’s why we’re offering a workshop Thursday, August 31st, from 5-6pm at the Mary Greer Room (Hodges Library, Room 258) to help you map out what can be next and how it can propel you forward into your professional or academic aspirations.
