If you have worked in a research lab at UCSC, name the professor and briefly describe what you did.

What is your favorite science class you’ve taken at UCSC so far (give class prefix and number, and name the professor) and why (one sentence)? *

You would be conducting research ~4-6 hours per week. Do you think that you can handle that workload and still do well in your classes? *

Yes

I value engaged students that embody a wide range of personal, professional, and lived experiences. Diversity of our students makes our community, my lab, and UCSC stronger. Please briefly share a perspective you bring or experiences you’ve had to help me understand you better — perhaps related to a community you belong to or your family or cultural background. *

Please describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement? *

Is there anything else about yourself and/or your skillset that you would like to share with me me? *

UCSC has several funding opportunities to support undergraduate student research (CAMINO, Dorris Duke, Undergraduate Research in Science and Technology Award, etc.). Please list any awards that you have applied to, and indicate whether you have any secured funding to support your research. If you do not have funding, we will work together to craft your application materials to secure paid internship opportunities with our lab!

I will review this form each quarter for research opportunities to start the following quarter. *

Yeah - go marine science!
