Got this from a TA in OUR

I'm running an Intro to Research class in the spring which focuses on preparing undergrads to enter research. If you know of any undergrads (in any STEM field) that may be interested, perhaps in classes that grad students TA in, please send them our way! More info and the application (due Nov. 15) can be found here: https://www.our.ucf.edu/stem
