If selected, I will commit to participating in the Sawyer activities for the entire academic year.
During the year, fellows will attend events and have the opportunity to interact with invited speakers and participate in the research group. They will also write social media posts
and blogs on research topics, update the website, take photos and minutes during events, publicize events amongst students, interface with The Thresher and other sources of publicity
for the programmed events, and present a poster at the end of the year at an undergraduate research symposium or conference. The organizers will provide multidisciplinary
