Bilateral Path between Academic Research & Teaching Program Expanding

The first program goal is the course development (fall) and teaching (spring) experience for the graduate students, and the second program goal is to demystify the undergraduate research experience and make it more accessible and equitable to all undergraduates.  

 

Graduates students will work in teams of 2-3 and both semesters should require no more than 5 hours of time per week. All students must have their PIs support to apply for the program.
