Student research is an invaluable experience for student development. Students have the opportunity to be involved in research through independent research and/or job opportunities.
When searching for employment during the school year, it is recommended to read through faculty research descriptions on the faculty web page and then send a direct email to the faculty whose research is of interested to you. Do this about 4-8 weeks before the start of the new semester. Students may find opportunities for research with food and nutritional sciences faculty.
