The University of Portland is committed to helping students find undergraduate research opportunities and has recently adopted a resource, the Student Opportunity Center, that connects students to over 10,000 student conferences, journals, research, and funding opportunities. The Student Opportunity Center is free to UP community members, easy to use, and customizable to student interests. All faculty are asked to encourage their students to sign up; opportunities exist for all majors. The paragraph below directs students on how to sign up.
Students use their up.edu email account to sign up at this link. This short YouTube tutorial provides information about the Student Opportunity Center. Students can contact ur@up.edu if they have any issues setting up their accounts.
For more information contact the Office of the Provost (staten@up.edu) or the Office of Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement (leasor@up.edu).
