The Patel Center encourages undergraduates to develop their research skills by focusing on global challenges. Your generous gift allows each student to earn credit toward coursework or independent study on campus while being mentored by a faculty member, followed by a capstone experience in a developing country.
In past years, Undergraduate Global Research Scholars (UGRS) have worked to address freshwater problems in the Monteverde Zone in Costa Rica, researched the impact of development along the Pacific Coast of Mexico, and assessed water needs in Miches, Dominican Republic.
