How will participation in undergraduate research help you achieve your academic and career goals at NIU?

List the topics and/or subjects you are most interested in exploring. (This might include topics that pique your curiosity, problems you are interested in solving and/or topics you want to explore deeper)

How will the skills and experiences you have be useful in participating in research? (i.e. computer competency, qualitative/quantitative research skills, knowledge about statistical programs, etc.).

I understand that the Research Rookies program is an academic year-long commitment and that I will receive a $500 scholarship upon completion of all program requirements (visit go.niu.edu/ResearchRookies to view requirements) in May if accepted into the program.
