The OUR Explorers Program will take place throughout each spring semester. Explorers will attend professional development workshops and shadow multiple faculty members through their research activities.

OUR Explorers is for students with no previous research experience. This program is intended to spark interest in research and creative activities for inexperienced Undergraduate students. Preference will be given to first- and second-year students. Current undergraduate, degree-seeking students in good standing with the University are eligible to apply.
