UROP Ambassadors
UROP Ambassadors are students who have extensive research experience. They serve as advocates for undergraduate research by assisting the UROP office with outreach, marketing, and mentoring through weekly office hours, info sessions, student researcher panels, and social media interactions.
We mourn the loss of UROP Advisor Philippe Relouzat, who died on November 5, 2021. In his work at UROP, Philippe was committed to helping students find their passions through research. We miss our colleague and friend: his easy smile, deep voice and hearty laugh.
