Partner offices: OUR works closely with many offices on campus that students in research would find helpful. All of these folks are extremely nice. Some of these offices include:
-
USC Connect supports students in making the educational connections between course work and beyond the classroom experiences such as research, service, global study, etc. The office provides information about how to get involved.
-
University Libraries offers many article databases for identifying relevant information for literature reviews as well as one-on-one sessions with a librarian to help you start your research.
- The Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs provides assistance for students interested in applying for fellowships and scholarships. For example, the Goldwater scholarship provides up to $7,500 for outstanding juniors/seniors interested in careers in math, science, or engineering. Contact them to find out more!
