On July 30 and 31, thirty-two Auggies participating in the College’s URGO (Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity) Summer Research Program presented their initial research findings to the campus community. Each summer, these students conduct 10-week research programs led by faculty mentors, exposing them to unique research opportunities that range from medieval studies to biopsychology.
“Doing research is a fantastic opportunity that not a lot of college students get,” says Enrico Barrozo ’14, a biology major from Plymouth, MN. “Here at Augsburg, we get to do research that usually is an experience that only graduate students get….it really just opens your eyes to the possibility of things like [grad school and medical school]. It’s a good way to spend your summer.”
