The most important thing to realize is that most students involved in an undergraduate research experience had to seek out the opportunity. In other words, don’t wait expecting someone to ask you if you want to become involved but rather you need to reach out and find an opportunity and this means:
- Ask friends and other students in your classes and dormitory;
- Talk to the faculty who teach you;
- Search your college or university website; and
- Check out the WebGURU program listings where you will find many undergraduate research programs listed.
