Faculty & PI Research Seminars
Faculty and principal investigators discuss current research, methodology, career pathways, scientific discovery, research challenges, and advice for students.
O.R.B.I.T. COMMUNITY
Research starts with curiosity.
O.R.B.I.T. Community is the open-entry branch of the organization, giving students a place to explore research, meet other research-minded students, interact with researchers, and join an interdisciplinary scholarly community. No prior research experience is required.
OPEN-ENTRY PROGRAMMING
A place to begin—and to stay connected.
Community programming helps students learn the language of research, encounter different fields, ask better questions, and build the relationships that make scholarship feel less distant.
Faculty Research Spotlight Series
A closer look at faculty research programs, scholarly fields, and the questions researchers are actively pursuing.
Journal Club & Critical Analysis
Practice reading research, evaluating methodology, interpreting results, identifying limitations, and discussing scientific findings.
Research Networking
Connect with peers, faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, research staff, and others across disciplines.
Professional Development
Scientific CV and research-resume workshops, research career discussions, conference preparation, panels, and opportunity sessions.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
All majors. All experience levels.
You do not need previous research experience, a laboratory position, or a fully formed project idea to participate in O.R.B.I.T. Community.
