What is the UR2PhD program?
The Undergraduate Research to PhD (“UR2PhD”), pronounced ‘you are to PhD’, program focuses on expanding training opportunities that make it easier for students to get involved in research. The program aims to ensure that participants have access to high-quality undergraduate research opportunities, positive mentorship experiences, and information about applying to graduate school.
In order to meet its objectives, the UR2PhD program offers four primary activities:
- A research training course to increase undergraduate students’ confidence and skills
- A mentor training course to support graduate students’ in becoming more effective mentors
- A computing research engagement and awareness workshop series to increase students’ understanding of research
- A graduate school application workshop series to build students’ interest in and knowledge of PhD applications
