Celebrating Student Research

The Undergraduate Research Mentorship Program (URMP), led by Yvette Conley, Senior Associate Dean for Research and Scholarship, provides traditional BSN students the opportunity to work with faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and doctoral student mentors on a variety of research and scholarly projects. Students have the opportunity to work with the assigned mentor throughout their four-year program or may choose to work with several mentors during their four-year program.

Students have benefitted from this mentor-mentee relationship and the majority of them end up developing their own interests and ideas for research. In addition, students in the program are encouraged and supported financially to attend and present at one local, national, or international conference, if they are first authors of the presentation.
