Engage
Engaging and Graduating Hispanic Students Through Undergraduate Research
The Engaging and Graduating Hispanic Students Through Undergraduate Research Program, or Engage for short, aims to provide broad access to undergraduate research for historically underserved students by creating a flexible model of engagement and through multiple touchpoints while also supporting student success. A specific focus of Engage is to engage and support students who are traditionally under-served in undergraduate research opportunities, such as first-generation, under-represented minority, Pell-eligible, non-traditional, community college, and transfer students. This program is open to all undergraduate majors conducting research at Cal Poly Pomona and funding is determined by the length and deliverables of your research project. Along with research opportunities, Engage offers students a structure of wrap-around support through faculty, staff, and peer mentoring.
Engage is currently undergoing it's 2024 Summer REU. The program has been able to host more students this summer thanks to the help and sponsorship from the College of Engineering here at Cal Poly.
