RU undergrad researchers: be a YouTube star!

Last year, OIRT and The Aresty Research Center started a video series called The Undergraduate Research Spotlight. The goal of the series is to recognize the contributions of the undergraduate students who are at the heart of this university's strong research tradition.

So far, we've interviewed over 50 undergraduate students and we want to interview more! Read ahead to learn how students can participate and how faculty can get their students involved.

We've uploaded about 35 of the interviews onto the Rutgers YouTube channel. To date, this series has over 7,000 views from YouTube viewers from all around the world!

I've embedded an example of our work below, starring Amy Torres from the Anthropology department.



We'll take self-nominations or nominations from faculty members. Nominees should be current or former Rutgers University undergraduate researchers. Nominees should also be comfortable (and excited to be) talking about their research in front of a camera!

If you'd like to nominate someone, please send an e-mail to podcasting@rutgers.edu with the nominee's name, e-mail address, and a bit about the nature of the nominee's research.
