Testimonials
“Thanks to UNIV 199 I was able to network with many research staff on campus. Through that networking I gained the support of Dr. Yang and won the Chancellor’s Summer Scholar award to preform my own research project in his lab last summer! Because of that, he is now giving me the opportunity to conduct my own independent research this summer as well! WSU-TC is full of opportunities and thanks to TRIO I was able to land one!”

“TRIO has been amazing. They have helped me with learning how to fill out internships and how to do scholarships as well and the deadlines need to have those completed by. As well as there’s research opportunities here on campus especially for biological sciences in the biology department which is something that I can participate in next Fall so I’m excited about that.”

Testimonials
“After my undergrad I would like to go to graduate school and that would give me an opportunity to find what I would want to do my research on. Through this research course, I will have the opportunity to look at different fields of studies where I will have a better idea of what I want to do when I go to graduate school. After taking this course I know I will have a better idea of what I’ve would want to do my research on when I apply to graduate school. It will make the process so much easier.”
