Support PROPEL during UMassGives!
In our first year there were 96 projects from 12 Departments. Over 400 students from 27+ Majors were accepted into projects. PROPEL will be raising money during this year’s hashtag #UMassGives campaign on April 29 and 30. We hope to use this money towards creating new research projects that students can participate in and funding mentor-mentee lunches next year! Our “Power Hour” is from 12 - 1 p.m. on April 29! If we receive the greatest number of gifts during that hour, we will win an additional $2000, or $500 for second place.
