Are you interested in research, but don’t know what resources are available or which professors to talk to? On Thursday, November 10th from 1-3pm in the CLA’s Glickman Center, students will be able to meet professors pursuing research in Liberal Arts and learn how to get involved in undergraduate research at UT! This year, Liberal Arts Council will be unveiling LAUNCH, the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Chapter for Research, an organization that promotes research in the College of Liberal Arts. We would like to encourage all Liberal Arts students to learn more about how to get involved with future LAUNCH events! Also, free tacos from Taco Shack will be provided during this event.
The event will begin with a keynote speech from Dean Musick, Liberal Arts Associate Dean for Student Affairs, who will speak about the importance of undergraduate research. We will then break into 20-minute small groups during which students will be allowed to discuss research directly with the professors. The food will be served at 12:45.
Professors attending are:
Bartholomew Sparrow – Government
Rebecca Lewis – Anthropology
Jonathan Kaplan – Middle Eastern Studies
Gregory Knapp – Geography
Rebecca Bigler – Psychology
Michael Winship – English
Chris Kirk – Anthropology
Maria Wade – Anthropology
Students will be able to sign up for a professor and 20-minute slot by 11:59 PM on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH. Students can attend more than one time slot by signing up on the form. Furthermore, students are still encouraged to sign up for a time slot with a professor even if they cannot attend the entirety of the two hours of the event! A confirmation email will be sent before the event to notify students of their time slots.
