Research Pathways Informational

Interested in Research But Don’t Know Where to Start?

Join us for a Research Pathways Informational session on February 25th at 5:30PM in Baskin E2-180 to learn how you can get involved in cutting-edge research at UCSC!

This event will cover:

  • How to get involved with research opportunities at Baskin
  • Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) — how they work and their career benefits
  • CMPM 15 and other pathways for exploring research

Why attend? Research shows that three-quarters of VIP participation triples your odds of finding a job—comparable to gains from internships! You’ll also gain leadership opportunities and in-depth experience in your field of interest.

The session will feature a panel of lab representatives, followed by a Q&A, providing you with direct access to faculty and researchers who can answer your questions.

Pizza will be provided! RSVP now to secure your spot.
