Mentorship for Undergraduate Research Participants in Physical and Mathematical Sciences (MURPPS)

MURPPS is a UC Davis undergraduate mentoring program designed to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue graduate studies in the physical and mathematical sciences by offering students the chance to work with professors on research projects relevant to their major. The goal of MURPPS is to help create a diverse post-graduate population in the Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Students are paid a quarterly stipend. MURPPS also conducts seminars which introduce students to faculty and research projects, offers academic guidance, and access to the tutoring at the Student Academic Success Center. For more information about MURPPS, contact Raynell Hamilton (530) 754-9020, or visit the Undergraduate Research Center, 2300 Student Community Center.
