Next Steps for Students

Reflecting
 

We encourage students to consider these next steps in conversation with their mentors as they continue their personal and professional development during and after their UROP experience.

Engaging with the academic and creative life of the university and broader global community of scholars enables your ability to advance your goals in many ways. We offer ideas here and recommend asking your mentors about next steps. Start where it makes sense for you, but we organized these steps to inspire your thinking based on the experiences of previous participants.
