To access these opportunities students must often navigate a hidden network to find research and teaching opportunities positions that are often never broadly advertised.  The UMass PROPEL program promotes equitable access to these opportunities for all undergraduate students at UMass from all backgrounds. 

Mentors can efficiently post positions during the four yearly rounds and review applications from a pool of thousands of students. To post a project login using your NET ID and request mentor status.
