Research Club
The USC Union Research Club aspires to expose students to a variety of research experiences across a wide range of disciplines, while facilitating connections between students and faculty that may lead to new scholarly collaborations. Club activity includes the planning and execution of a number of campus events highlighting student and faculty research (e.g. lunch-and-learns and colloquiums), fundraisers to support the Club's efforts, and field trips to immerse students and faculty with research even further. Additionally, students have the opportunity to receive funding to support their scholarly work and their dissemination of that work at professional meetings and conferences. Finally, students in the Club also have the opportunity to earn Research Club Cords as a reflection of their engagement with research and with the Club's efforts toward promoting that type of activity on campus. For more information about the club, feel free to contact Dr. Randy Lowell, and follow the Club on Instagram @USCU.Research.
