A student speaks to a URAF staff member.

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (URAF) guides our learners through the processes of asking and answering today’s – and tomorrow’s – most important questions.  URAF helps students identify high-impact research and creative endeavor opportunities, secure the necessary academic and financial support to undertake them, and prepare for lives of leadership and service anchored in expertise.
