Chancellor's Research Fellowship

10 years - By the Numbers

Inaugurated in 2012, the UCR Chancellor’s Research Fellowship supports undergraduate student engagement in faculty-mentored research and creative projects. The fellowship also provides enhanced learning opportunities for undergraduate researchers, including the opportunity to interact with the UCR Chancellor, other key UCR officials, and distinguished guest speakers. Overseen by the Office of Student Engagement, fellows engage in leadership development through organizing campus-wide events, mentorship workshops, and outreach activities. Here’s a look at the fellowship and its recipients thus far:
