Share your passion for research

Are you inspired by the very idea of research? Do you want to spread your excitement for discovery to other UT students? The OUR is looking for students to share their passion for research by acting as student research ambassadors. Complete our form by Sept. 12 to let us know what kinds of outreach activities you’re interested in (e.g., fielding questions from other students as an ambassador; being the subject of a research profile or photos).
