尼古拉斯Takebayashi

Hear senior 尼古拉斯Takebayashi talk about the research opportunities he has had during his time at UE.

所有化学和生物化学的学生都有机会参与本科研究项目. Normally students will work with a faculty member in the department on a project of mutual interest. Funding for research can be provided by the University's UExplore 本科研究 Program. 化学系还通过礼来本科研究补助金和系校友的慷慨捐赠提供资金. Presently the stipend for 10 weeks of summer research is $3,500 with free on-campus housing.
