LASURI is open to any student whose major field of study is in the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences. We encourage students majoring in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to participate in the program, and we understand that research is conducted differently across the disciplines.
A snake can only strike with authority within a distance of one- half its body length. So a distance of four feet or more will keep you safe. Give the snake time to go on its way. Remember, most snakes -- even venomous ones -- are not aggressive and would rather avoid a confrontation with people.
When you cross paths with a snake respect the force of their nature. When you lose respect for the snake is when you get bitten. The same is true in life. Snakes teach you to show restraint. They also teach you how to preserve your energy and only strike when you have no other choice.
