Peer Research Contacts are undergraduate students who are already involved in research in colleges and departments across campus and are willing to share their experiences via email correspondence. The list below is divided by field, but remember that many students' work is interdisciplinary: if you are interested in biological/biomedical research, for example, there may be useful contacts in the Engineering section, etc.
