This spotlight is shining on the Research Mixer, an event held each Fall and Spring semester for the last 15 years! The 30th semi-annual Research Mixer helps student researchers and faculty mentors connect. The event has evolved over the years to meet the needs of City Tech’s research community: in its current format, it’s a hybrid session that brings together students interested in conducting research, faculty members interested in mentoring student researchers, and representatives from various research programs available for City Tech students–including paid research opportunities!
The Research Mixer is this week:
Thursday, February 20th
12:30-2:00PM
Room A-105 (Academic Building)
and via Zoom Registration
Following the Research Mixer, students will be able to apply to the programs they learn about, attend an orientation, and learn alongside their research as they participate in workshops that will last throughout the semester. These workshops, developed and led by members of City Tech’s Undergraduate Research Committee and other helpful members of the City Tech community, run each semester for students participating in the Emerging Scholars program or the CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP), and are open to any students interested in the subjects covered.
Not only are the workshops listed on the Undergraduate Research site on City Tech’s website, but they are also shared on the Undergraduate Research site on the OpenLab. In addition to the post announcing the full slate of workshops for the semester, there will be posts announcing each workshop scheduled throughout the semester.
There is also a list of the workshops with dates and times that you can see no matter where you are on the site (in the right sidebar on a computer, or at the bottom of the page if you’re looking on a mobile device). You can add a widget to your site if you want to do something similar on your site, too.
If you join the project, you’ll get reminders for each of the workshops this semester. You’ll also get notifications for other information that gets posted on the site–including internship opportunities, news, and events that are relevant for student researchers and their faculty mentors.
Happy researching!
