UROP

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) creates research partnerships between undergraduate students and University of Michigan researchers and community partners. All schools and colleges are active participants in UROP, which provides a wealth of interesting research topics for program participants. UROP started with 14 student/faculty partnerships in 1988 and has expanded to include more than 1300 students and 800 faculty researchers.

UM Library

Consistently ranked as one of the top ten academic research libraries, the University of Michigan Library makes available an extraordinary array of resources and services. Our mission is to support, enhance, and collaborate in the instructional, research, and service activities of the faculty, students, and staff, as well as contribute to the common good by collecting, organizing, preserving, communicating, publishing, and sharing the record of human knowledge. Expert staff are committed to helping learners and scholars tap into the full potential of these informational resources and to providing a full spectrum of assistance for research and teaching. We collaborate with students at every step in their educational career and engage with faculty and graduate students’ research. We provide a hub for scholarly publishing via Michigan Publishing that is responsive to scholars. Connecting students, the public, and multiple disciplines through the publication of non-technical articles is an opportunity to showcase student excellence and public engagement. We are delighted to share our expertise and resources with campus partners and students as part of the University of Michigan Undergraduate Research Journal.
