Research
The Kapiolani Community College’s innovative Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) program provides students with numerous opportunities to participate in hands-on, faculty-mentored research projects on a wide range of topics. Gain the technical and professional skills and experience that are crucial in STEM careers. Working on a research project can also help you get scholarships and internships as well recommendation letters from faculty.
There are many ways to join a research project, whether it is through class, STEM clubs, competition teams, or independent-research models. For more information, please contact the Undergraduate Research Experiences Coordinator, Li-Anne Delavega, at ldelaveg@hawaii.edu.
