[A. Fraser] Probably the best thing about the Honors College is just that they have
the people to make things happen. So, having the Honors College name associated with you
and your scholarships is going to be a great way to get started in research because that
will help you get your foot in the door. I started out with the Center for Research
and Learning. They have programs for students to do research as undergraduates, which is
pretty unique to this campus. I thought that research might be something that I was interested
in, but having a chance to actually use the equipment, to talk over the project with my
mentor really cemented the idea that that’s what I wanted to do, and having the chance
to know that when I was a freshman, instead of having to wait until junior, senior year
to be able to get a chance was really helpful, so it kind of gave me a motivation and a vision
for what I could do in the future.
