Research and Internship Information

Tonight’s meeting was extremely helpful to me because it opened my mind to different opportunities.  I have always thought about doing research, but I didn’t know what it would take to start doing research or if I was the type of person to try to solve a problem that no one knew the answer to.  The guys who talked tonight was really helpful with enforcing the idea of stepping out of your comfort zone to make the most out of your experience and not just the minimum.  You are the main person who controls your experience.  The URO and advisers are just there to guide you to what you want to do.  I also really liked how they said to try research in something that may not be your major, but you are interested in because you might find out that is the path you want to do.  Buckeye Career Network seems like an extremely helpful website to find internships and research to initiate your goals.  The quote that was really inspirational at the end of the presentation was when one of the guys said “Work hard to make your grades impressive to open doors, but work twice as hard to make your grades the least impressive thing about you.”
