What I liked
Having a leadership role for the first time. Getting paid to exercise on ambassador shifts, and to do homework on check-in desk shifts. The pay rate was above average for work-study positions. The word "Ambassador" and the phrase "Leadership Role" will look fantastic on my resume.

Undergraduate Researcher
January 2018 • Ypsilanti, MI
What I liked
What I wish was different
Advice
Undergraduate research is a great opportunity for anyone interested in any type of science field. Students from pre-med backgrounds to environmental science backgrounds can take advantage of it. Additionally, it’s up to the student how far they want to take it. I personally presented at a national conference this summer, I know of others who simply volunteered in labs, and others who have presented at the Undergraduate Research Symposium (UGS) and gone on to work in another lab to diversify their experiences. A unique and flexible experience that I would highly recommend every undergraduate student take advantage of.
