Research Mavs

Through the Research Mavs program, experienced undergraduates provide guidance, share research skills, and offer support to fellow students navigating the research process. This peer-to-peer collaboration is designed to enhance academic skills, promote knowledge-sharing, and create a supportive community within the libraries and university.
