SOAR

Dont Just Fly. SOAR.

We dont put our professors on pedestals, we put them with students. SOAR (Student Opportunities for Academic Research) provides stipends and support for students in any major who is engaged in scholarly research or creative activity with a faculty member. And since the idea of scholarship can take on a seemingly infinite number of forms, this faculty-student research pairing program is designed to be as inclusive as possible. Check out last summers SOAR projects, and click here to visit the official SOAR website to find out how researching alongside a faculty can help your education really take off.
