Learn About Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP): Curiosity Lab Virtual Workshop Series
As we return to campus to take on yet another semester, there are numerous opportunities available for students interested in bolstering their resumes, getting hands-on experience, and finding community among peers and staff. CU’s very own UROP, or Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, has unveiled a new program known as the Curiosity Lab Virtual workshop series. This virtual workshop series is perfect for any and all undergraduates interested in experiential learning both on campus and beyond and is a great opportunity to pursue for all students at any point in their undergraduate career.
UROP’s Curiosity Lab virtual workshop series has a total of five different workshops starting from January 18th- April 5th. There are a variety of subjects covered in each hour-long session, though each one focuses on a new area of personal, academic, or professional development.
