Research Mentorship
I have worked with 12 research students over the last couple of years, many funded through external grants on multiple different research projects. Many of these students have given research presentations, are involved in co-authoring articles or have started campus initiatives as a result of this research! Reach out if you are a Hope College student interested in hearing about future research opportunities!
