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.
