Calling all Undergraduate Researchers! If you are participating in an undergraduate research program, be sure to check out the full list of workshops and sign up for workshops starting this week with Tuesday’s workshop on Presenting Yourself Online. This workshop, on Being a Professional, is a great opportunity not only for you as a researcher but also as you embark on or continue in your profession! Participating students will learn about professionalism and strategies to develop from varied perspectives.

You’re invited to join Profs. Davide and Walljasper for this workshop on developing professional skills. The session will be on Thursday, October 26th from 1:00-2:00PM in A506 (Academic Building).

This workshop is in person, so no need to register in advance–just be sure to arrive when it’s time for the workshop!

What a great start to the workshops we’ve had so far!

Hopefully you had the chance to attend a workshop or two so far this semester. Now get ready to join Profs. Gregory, Kim, and Rahman for the next workshop, Research Types and Methods.

Before beginning your research project, you need to decide how to design a study. This panel discussion workshop will give you a brief overview of various types of research using field surveys, secondary data analysis, and laboratory experiments.

This session takes place on Wednesday, October 25th, from 1-2:00PM. Be sure to register for Research Types and Methods and then join when it’s time!

This semester’s workshops are off to a successful start, thanks to the effort of the workshop leaders and organizers, and of course to the curious and lively student participants!

Next in the workshop schedule is Using OpenLab for your Research Project, led by Prof. Reitz and Prof. Rosen, from the OpenLab Team, who will support student researchers by showing how to communicate about and display research via OpenLab.

Register for the workshop and join online on Thursday, 10/19, 1:00-2:00PM.

If you haven’t already, you may want to take the time to sign up for an OpenLab account before the workshop so you can log in and get started!

Calling all Undergraduate Researchers! And mentors, too!

If you are participating in an undergraduate research program, the Fall 2023 workshops start this week with a workshop on Thursday. Students participating in an undergraduate research program have many workshop options to choose from throughout the semester–so undergraduate researchers, now is the time to sign up! And mentors, now is the time to encourage the student researchers you work with to sign up!

To start the semester’s workshop offerings, the OpenLab Team invites all students to join them for a workshop on presenting yourself online, which focuses on how students can create and maintain a professional and/or academic online presence. The OpenLab team supports students developing a presence on their OpenLab sites during their academic career at City Tech and even into their job search post-graduation.

The session is on Thursday, October 12th, from 1:00-2:00 PM.

Register for Presenting Yourself Online. See you soon!

After you attend the workshop, please share your reflection. Your answers will go to workshop leaders and will not appear publicly on the site.

You can view the slides from the workshop here.

Welcome to the Fall 2023 Workshop Series! New participating undergraduate researchers must attend four workshops. Returning researchers must complete four workshops. If you have already completed all workshops and do not wish to participate in them again, please contact Prof. Hamid Norouzi, undergraduateresearch@citytech.cuny.edu — 
SUBJECT Line: workshop alternatives, to discuss alternate activities to fulfill this requirement.
