Civic Engagement can work with you to find ways to volunteer with local organizations off-campus.

"Through the Quad fellowship, I’m excited to meet like-minded people to bridge the gap between science and society, creating scientific discoveries that make a positive impact on the world."

“If you're passionate about research, it’ll come through. Even just applying is worthwhile as you learn so much along the way."
