Our Work
Research Outreach dedicates itself to providing students with a variety of resources and support to help members find and pursue research opportunities available at UCI, as well as assisting members in their non-research related academic journeys. Below are glimpses of our mission so far.
Radiology Open House
ROUCI students were invited to join the Department of Radiological Sciences Open House event which enabled prospective undergraduate researchers to visit labs and learn about research projects first-hand from participating faculty
Undergraduate Research Panel
Various undergraduate students gathered to discuss their own personal journeys toward research, resulting in an intimate conversation with members about the path that may lie ahead
All of Us Research Guest Speaker
Dr. Benedetta Bartali joined ROUCI to provide insight and encouragement to our students to join an exciting research opportunity occurring on campus, the NIH All of Us Research Precision Medicine program, focused on formulating a national health information database
Professional Development Workshops
Multiple workshops throughout the quarters were designed to help students develop skills needed in their academic and research endeavors, covering topics such as resume building and writing effective emails to research faculty.
Cha for Tea Fundraiser
Our first fundraiser invited students to enjoy Cha For Tea at UTC while we promoted open positions in various UCI research labs. The night was filled with introductions, the sharing of lab experiences, and boba!
La Spada Guest Speaker
A representative from the La Spada Lab joined us to recruit undergraduate students to join their lab. They discussed their lab project and what they look for in an applicant, and provided our students with general advice for getting involved with research.
Mentor/Mentee Matching
Excitement and anticipation filled the air as mentees met their mentors for the first time at our Mentee/Mentor matching meeting. The start of a meaningful journey toward personal and professional growth for both parties.
Graduate Student Research Panel
ROUCI alumni joined us to present their journeys following graduation. They discussed applications, and how research shaped their journeys beyond college.
Tote Painting
Amongst the hustle and bustle of the school year, ROUCI enjoyed an afternoon of serenity with snacks and tote bag painting.
