What attracted me to CURL: After taking the Urban Seminar course, I wanted to continue to do research that would positively impact Chicago communities. I appreciate the opportunity to work on projects that have real-world use to many organizations and people. CURL offers a chance to do research that can be applied outside of the classroom.
What do I hope to gain from CURL: Working at CURL will give me experience applying the concepts I have learned in coursework to research projects. I also hope to grow accustomed to and benefit from the collaborative research model by sharing ideas and strategies through team research.
