Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Supporting Scholarship, Research, and Creative Activity
The primary mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is to maintain a supportive environment for research, scholarly, and creative endeavors of the faculty, academic staff, and students. ORSP coordinates and administers a variety of internally funded research and professional development programs, directs the activities of the Center of Excellence for Faculty and Undergraduate Student Research Collaboration, and facilitates proposal preparation and submission to external agencies in order to serve the needs of the institution.
I never thought I'd be doing research as an undergrad, let alone presenting our findings at major conferences. The knowledge and experiences I have gained from participating in undergraduate research will stick with me for the rest of my life.
