Wildcats R.I.S.E. is a new, safe place that brings UArizona students together to sort it all out, whatever it is.

Our free group and individual sessions offer students a chance to connect and talk with peers who are dealing with similar stressors. Because talking helps, especially when you’re talking to someone who gets it.

Role of the Disability Resource Center (DRC)

Disability Resource Center (DRC) is the department designated by the University to ensure access to University classes, programs and activities for disabled individuals on main campus, Arizona South, Phoenix campus and Arizona Online. A goal of the DRC is that your student experience is the best it can be inside and outside the classroom! We are committed to a convenient process by which you can explore accommodations and access requests.

How Does DRC Facilitate Accessibility?

DRC facilitates access by determining reasonable accommodations or by redesigning aspects of a University experience to be inclusive of all participants. We work with individuals in response to specific requests and we also work proactively with campus partners to influence a more accessible and inclusive campus.

Students Taking Advantage of Research (STAR) Lab is looking for undergraduate volunteers with college research, computer science and data science experience to support high school students in their research!

We welcome all students with research experience and good communication skills but we are in particular need of volunteers who have experience and skill in computer programming, Matlab, R / SPSS for statistical analysis as well as Excel and data management skills.

Volunteer position: Virtual STAR Lab Meeting Coordinator

When: October 2020 through January 2021

Where: On Zoom (of course!)

What: Weekly hour long lab meetings with a cohort of 4-6 high school students

Why: To support student research experience and establish a scientific community with future Wildcats!

How: If interested, contact margaret@sarsef.org.

More Details of Volunteer Opportunity:

The STAR Lab is a SARSEF/UA MCB Outreach Lab that brings together research mentors and high school students in a program of sustained support for student research. This year we are 100% online with no in person interactions but that doesn't mean we are not doing great science! The student research topics include COVID-19, cancer and heart disease, bioinformatics, plant sciences, social justice, conservation biology, geology, climate change, computational linguistics and psychology, to name a few.

Lab Meeting Coordinators will facilitate one weekly meeting with the same group of high school student researchers each week. Each student has a research mentor (PI or graduate student) who is advising on their individual projects. The role of the Lab Meeting Coordinator is to provide support and a sense of community to a group of students, to provide an opportunity for students to share about their research progress, to help with interpreting research papers, troubleshoot problems, support and clarify data analysis, helping our students to see themselves as scientists. You are also helping them see themselves as college students, hopefully Wildcats!

Please join us in this wonderful adventure and help strengthen the science community in Tucson and southern Arizona.

The Human Memory Lab is looking for several undergraduates who are interested in gaining research experience through independent study or directed research.

In our lab, we use behavioral, cognitive, and naturalistic observation measures to address a variety of questions about memory, such as how older and younger adults differ in memory retrieval, whether autobiographical memory might aid in the pre-clinical detection of Alzheimer’s disease, and how social factors like loneliness might impact memory sharing and everyday conversations among older adults.

Commitment is at least 2 semesters (2 or 3 credits per semester), starting Spring 2021. Research assistants will need to attend approximately 15 to 20 hours of training (over Zoom) towards the end of this fall semester or during the winter session. This is great opportunity for undergraduates interested in graduate/medical school and would provide experience in data analyses, qualitative data entry and coding, participation in lab meetings and discussions, and being a valued member of a research team. If you are interested, please contact Katie McVeigh at kkmcveigh@email.arizona.edu to set up a meeting.
