Big questions
Students edit genes at Â鶹ÊÓƵ to create climate-resistant crops.
On campus and around the world
The big questions are where research and creativity begin. Throughout the academic year and summer, students and faculty collaborate on research and creative projects—in classrooms, laboratories, studios, theatres, and throughout the local community.
And out in the field too. Recent students have collected data on fish populations on the open seas, excavated Roman villas, measured glacial melt in the Andes, and interviewed local farmers.
Your research is meaningful. It can shape your future. It can change the world. And you can start during your very first year.
