Student feedback from this session:

"This presentation is the best one I've been to. Dr. Sandick thoroughly analyzed imposter syndrome thoughts & feelings. She pinned my thoughts + worries exactly. Also the tips + exercises at the end were great + spot on. I feel motivated, she did a good job!"

"Imposter syndrome, implicit bias, and stereotype threat has or will affect all of us at some time. Acknowledging this and realizing it helps us to realize why we have these insecurities and how we can help both ourselves as well as our peers to best optimized performance."

"This talk came at the perfect time in the semester when all the pressures of the semester hit hard and make one feel they don't belong. It's good to be reminded how common Imposter Syndrome is and to see who it affects the most."

Student feedback from this session:

"Being able to research a library and online databases is incredibly important to any student or professional who is doing research. The speaker does very well in showing the variety of tools that exists in our local library alone, as well as all the online tools that one can use to find information about topics of various levels of specificity."

"Extremely informative, I used to work in the library + I didn't know some of the content covered in the session. its great for non-UROP students as well because its applicable to all research."

"Even if there are parts of conducting library research that you are already aware of, it's helpful to see a concise way to get to those specification options. I've spent a lot of time figuring things out on my own & I could have saved a lot of time & confusion if I had been to this session earlier."

Student feedback from this session:

"Lot helpful advice on how to better the relationship of mentor-mentee. The contents of the workshop directly apply to my situation and will be useful for me get more out of research."

"Although me research experience has been positive thus far, I recognized areas in which I can improve. I am excited to go into the lab and strengthen my relationship with my PI."

"Educational. Brings light to how mentor-student relationships can be successful. It's important to know how to get the most our of your research experiences throughout school, prior to entering the professional field. Very insightful workshop."

Student feedback from this session:

"This 1-hour session will save hours spent trying to understand articles."

"This lecture focuses both on how to read the paper as well as the process of how it is written. This is useful to understand points of focus in a paper as well as instruction on how to write a paper is you are working on that."

"Learning how to read research papers and even identify relevant papers is a really daunting task for researchers entering the field. However, it is a crucial skill in becoming a relevant and inquisitive scientist. This talk also helped me understand the process of making figures and writing a research paper which will come in handy as I begin writing my senior thesis this fall."

Student feedback from this session:

"-Great intro to what a letter is, especially for students who haven't seen letters of recommendation. -Good breakdown of how to ask for a letter. - Important insight on the professor's experience writing a letter."

"This information surprised me & made me feel more comfortable about this new realm. Letters of recommendation have been scary and after talking with Professor Haber I feel like I can navigate this process well. I would like this kowledge to be give to freshman!"

"good advice about who to ask, when to ask... and highlights the competitive nature of application process so that students are aware & know how to get strong letters of recommendation."

Student feedback from this session:

"I think personal statements are the most difficult things to write with applying. This lecture really broke down the "dos" and "don'ts" and helped to focus on yourself. Great advice and refreshing to hear!"

"I really have never been told how a personal statement should be written before today, and this session will help for applying for graduate school later in my career."

"This presentation took a lot of the intimidation of needing to write a personal statement. It was energizing and motivating to brainstorm as a group."

Student feedback from this session:

"This session gives a great overview to how the IRB works and what their goals/principles are. It also gave insight on when IRB approval is needed which is important when doing research."

"The presenter covered the main goals and duties of the IRB without overwhelming us with bureaucratic details. Also, it was interesting (and horrifying) learning about our country's dark history of human subjects research."

"Learning about the IRB allowed me to understand the broader implications of my research in general. All research has the goal of eventually translating to help humans, and understanding ethical human research and the process involved are very important in study design and implementation. Principles such as respect of persons, beneficence, and justice are things that all researchers should keep in mind while planning and conducting experiments."

Student feedback from this session:

"It was interactive and I feel like I am walking away knowing how to interpret + write an abstract."

"Very interactive and productive learning experience. Even for someone well versed in the realm of writing and analyzing research papers."

"It gives the audience a good idea about abstract writing and why it's important. Also, interactive and well planned. I gained a lot from this session."

Student Feedback:

"I appreciated the focus on source citations and some tips how to connect ideas together from different sources."

"This session synthesized a lot of other sessions such as finding sources and writing an abstract. This session helped me understand what to look for when finding sources and how to use them the join the conversation in my field."

"I had not been previously exposed to the instruction found in this lecture. It seems applicable to many fields."

Student feedback from this session:

"This session provided a clear perspective of the differences between working in industry + academia. This is a question that I am considering right now. Great opportunity to hear from an individual who worked in both spheres."

"I loved how informal and informative this discussion was. I felt like I wasn't just being lectured to and really enjoyed coming here for this. the presenter was very clear and really helped me feel like this could go beyond research and into my life."

"This talk was great for students trying to decide if industry is for them or is research is thier passion. In addition, Anthony gave great tips on how to learn to translate research into the world."

Student feedback from this session:

"Very helpful in organizing one's resume & how to make your resume stand out to employers since they first glance at it for only 6 seconds."

"It provided helpful insight on how to effectively organize your resume in order to give yourself a better chance for employers to recognize you and hire you."

"Valuable information on how employers go about hiring process, good time to practice your ability to write accomplishment statements. Nice that the presenters were undergrad age, so they get it."

Student Feedback:

"Great talk on how niche research applies to larger scale audiences."

"-Yes. - Super interesting (great speaking skills and interesting content. Incredibly passionate.) Universally applicable to research and life, in general. "Why do you do what you do," a looking forward approach that is relevant to student experience in many ways. Urged students to think beyond money and find legitimate reasons for actions and motivations."

"I didn't think this session would be applicable to me in an arts area. However, the information was very universal & applicable. Important information about communication."

Student Feedback:

"I felt that the discussion about the reflective process helped me pinpoint how my mentors and I have already employed the process and made me more aware of how I can more actively apply it to improve my research & writing."

"Reflection is crucial to grow personally + intellectually! Its a huge part of the program I am doing my UROP project with (Bennion Scholars) and has helped me learn + improve my project a lot."

"This workshop helped by making me think of my research from a different perspective, gave me ideas on how to improve my process, improving the communication of my research."
