I'm interested in this project. What should I do next? Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a project that aligns with your interests, be sure to review the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor.

The Assistant Director of Undergraduate Research, Alicen Lundberg, can provide you with further guidance about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.

Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can connect with the faculty member and begin a conversation about how you might contribute to this project.
