Professor and Director of the OUR
Dear students and supervisors,
Welcome to the Faculty of Science’s Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) at McMaster University. One of the best parts of my academic career has involved recruiting undergraduates, mentoring them and watching them flourish as young investigators. I’ve taken advantage of experiential and research practicum courses, both within the Biology Department and the Life Sciences Program, because students who get a head start in these courses usually perform better in their senior theses. And that is why I fully support the goal of the OUR strategic plan to ignite student interest as early as possible so they can pursue research opportunities in Levels 1 and 2.
