curca ambassador
program
Our CURCA Ambassadors are students who have presented and worked on undergraduate research and are willing to share their experiences working with their mentors, CURCA, and traveling to the students at large. The CURCA office acknowledges that many students are unfamiliar with CURCA and how we help students but recognize that sometimes it is easier to talk to fellow students as opposed to faculty members. If you are interested in one of our programs or grants, the CURCA Ambassadors are available to answer any questions you may have in addition to our faculty and staff.
