OUR Ambassadors
The Research Ambassadors are a group of UI undergraduates who are involved in research and creative work on campus. They assist with campus recruiting and outreach, event planning, and other ways to promote undergraduate involvement. Contact them if you have any questions about getting involved in research. They know first-hand what it takes to be a successful undergraduate researcher at the University of Iowa.
