Tier One Research
Segment #3 from The University of Texas at Dallas
Let’s head over to Paul, a chemistry senior who also appreciates the opportunities he’s found at UTD, especially those involving undergrad research, not readily found at most universities. What else does he love about UTD? The many resources available to help students achieve their goals. And UTDs nurturing of student leaders. Paul, the floor is all yours.
– Thanks for that awesome introduction, Alex. Hey, everyone. I remember in high school being nervous about which college would be the right fit for me. But now I can confidently say that UT Dallas fully invests in their students to create a great atmosphere here on campus and to attract the best and the brightest learners from around the world. UT Dallas offers many nationally ranked academic programs and encourages their students to expand their learning between the different schools to develop well-rounded, critical thinkers. At the heart of UT Dallas are research opportunities that are available to both undergrad and graduate students. In these positions, students develop close working relationships with professors and colleagues. One really neat opportunity is the UT Dallas Green Fellowship where students can work in a research laboratory on UT Southwestern Medical Center for one full semester while still being enrolled as a full-time student here at UTD. Throughout my chemistry degree, hands-on experiments both in classes and through independent research have been fundamental in the exploration of my major. On top of that, there are tons of tutoring and group study resources focused on your specific class and how to navigate your college career. UT Dallas drives students towards success and the multitude of resources ensure that no student feels left behind. Wow, that was a lot to talk about and honestly, I wish I could keep going. There is community here for everyone and together we build each other up to be the best that we can both in and out of the classroom. Now, back to you, Alex.
– Paul, thank you for telling us about the variety of research opportunities and study resources on campus. It’s nice to know there’s so much available to students at every point in their academic journey. It seems like you found the right balance right here at UTD. Thank you so much.
