The Loyola Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (LUROP) empowers undergraduate students to bring their curiosities to life through research. The 13 different research programs within LUROP give students the chance to enrich their academic experiences by engaging in guided research with a faculty or graduate-student mentor.
Each year, LUROP students take the initiative to expand their research beyond the Loyola cummunity by presenting at national and international conferences and co-authoring publications.
Mentoring in at the heart of the LUROP experience. Through LUROP, students have the opportunity to build relationships with faculty and graduate student mentors while actively engaging in meaningful research with real-world applications.
Research is all about exploration, as demonstrated by Provost Fellow Matthew Ruggirello, pictured left, who traveled to Ecuador to study the impact of community-based tourism on the Huoarani community.
