Dear Scarby, As an undergrad, how can I get research experience that I can add to my resume? - Aspiring Researcher, 4th year
Dear Aspiring,
That's a great question! There are a bunch of ways you can get research experience, and get some publications or presentations, by reaching out to your professors or peers to get in on an existing project or by designing your own research question with the help of a librarian. You can even apply for some cash prizes to help out with expenses. Check out the UTSC Undergraduate Research and Creative Forum and the UTSC Undergraduate Research and Creative Prize, which are open to undergrads enrolled at UTSC who have completed 3.5 credits. There's also the Patricia and Peter Shannon Wilson Undergraduate Research Prize, for first-entry U of T undergraduate students. Good luck!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
