Pardee School Students Awarded UROP Grants
Several Pardee School students and faculty are amongst those at Boston University who will be receiving Spring and Summer research awards under the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). UROP facilitates undergraduate participation in faculty-mentored research projects. UROP’s mission is to nurture curiosity, to capture imagination, and to cultivate relationships between faculty and students beyond the classroom to shape independent, innovative, and collaborative leaders.
Pardee School faculty and students have been heavily engaged with UROP at Boston University (read story about Prof. Jeremy Menchik receiving the UROP outstanding mentorship award).
