UROP works with EVERY student to find a project! For some students, the project search is short, for others it may take a few weeks to find the right fit. Be patient, and know that your peer facilitator and the UROP staff are here to make sure you find an opportunity that will suit your interests and build your professional skill set.
Contact information for projects is released through the project book link a minimum of a week after students are granted access to the project book.
