How
to get involved in research. Undergraduates. Involvement in research can be one of the most transformative and rewarding experiences of your college education. The undergraduate research program in Chemistry at Western is among the most active in the country, with dozens of students in full-time paid research positions each summer and about $1 million annually in external research support, so there are plenty of opportunities. However, openings in research groups are not often advertised, so it's up to you to be proactive. To get started, visit the Chemistry Department office and pick up descriptions of the research programs of Chemistry faculty. Have a look at research group web pages (like this one), read recent publications from groups you're interested in, and talk to students already involved. Then schedule a time to meet with professors leading programs of interest to you. With persistence you will find an opening. Research can be done for credit during the school year and for a salary during summer. Graduate Students. If you're considering the M.S. program in Chemistry at WWU, have a look at materials elsewhere on the Chemistry Department website for more information. The Graduate Advisor in Chemistry can assist you in obtaining information on degree options, financial aid, admissions requirements, application procedures, and research programs. |
