Undergraduate Research
Maya Fisher:
My name is Maya Fisher and my passion is undergraduate research.
Dr. Gretchen Bielmyer-Fraser:
Undergraduate research allows students to work really closely with faculty to make
contributions, original creative contributions, in their discipline. So students can
learn new field and laboratory techniques. they can apply what they've learned in
a classroom to a real-world situation. They enhance their presentation skills, oral
skills, written skills, and dissemination of their research.
Dr. Daniel Mosely:
JU is a wonderful place for undergraduate research. JU you really places a lot of
emphasis on the undergraduate student experience and I think that really shows through
the undergraduate research.
Maya Fisher:
Through my experiences in undergraduate research, I feel much more confident in the
lab. I feel much more competitive as a student and I feel a lot more prepared to take
on the challenge of medical school.
Luis Persson:
My name is Luis and my passion is undergraduate research. I got one more semester
at JU and thereafter I'm going to Sweden to do a master's program in biochemistry,
hoping that one day I can conduct research.
For my undergraduate research project, we are examining the stress response in sharks
as an indicator of pollution. My experience with undergraduate research at JU has
been transformational. It's helped me figure out how I want to change the world.
Dr. Daniel Mosely:
Your support would go towards funding research, funding travel for presenting research,
and really getting JU and our students exposed on a national stage.
