Undergraduate Research Office CAL
The Undergraduate Research Office CAL (UROC) provides resources and supports practices that elevate CAL's position as a research-forward college, including when it comes to our bachelor's degree seekers.
Research shows that enabling research, scholarship, and creative activities (RSCA) for undergraduates:
- Enriches the student experience
- Increases student retention and graduation rates
- Supports workforce development in terms of both “soft skills” (communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork) and technical/professional skills
- Increases students' social mobility after graduation
- Enhances instructor job satisfaction and supports professional growth
