Research revamped: UROP expansion benefits upperclass students
The University's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program has always provided a unique experience to students who wish to work closely with renowned professors and participate in ground-breaking research projects. Recently expanded to include junior and senior upper-division students, UROP has increased its base of students and its research opportunities. From a program that initially catered to a small portion of students at the University, it has grown into a highly recognized program, not only at the University but across the nation.

I didn't go see Cornel West. I didn't go to the panel discussion with Provost Cantor and Chuck D. I don't know why, either.
I know that we have problems about race. I know that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a brave man, a hero and an intellectual. I know that he was one of the few people who truly believed in the doctrines of non-violence and integration, and there have been few true disciples since him.
