Welcome
The purpose of OSCAR is to support faculty-mentored student research, scholarship, and creative activities. Students build their research and creative skills by working closely with faculty mentors across all disciplines, and our campus faculty recognizes the importance of involving students in research projects. The benefits of these types of research projects and creative activities for students are many, including preparation for graduate study, professional schools, job skills, and networking. We hope you will consider applying, and we are here to help if you have questions!
