PROPEL Research Fellows
The PROPEL program is the first of its kind in the country! The PROPEL Research Fellows help us better reach students and mentors, improve the web site and analyze data to evaluate PROPEL's impact. We will work together on methods to evaluate the success of the program and to identify our shortcomings. PROPEL Research Fellows will help research into best practices in recruiting and mentoring undergraduate students. We will put together reports to improve the undergraduate experience at UMass, communicate our data on the web site and publish our results in a research journal. We are looking for a student to help led a new PROPEL Scholars Program. This could be a great senior thesis for next or the following year!
The PROPEL program is providing equitable and transparent access to research and teaching opportunities. You can help make a difference! This project will also help to develop and showcase your organization, communication and data science skills.
