Student Perspective
“I really enjoyed getting to meet different people in different fields. I had a lot of fun talking to engineers who worked for NASA and other institutions.”

Lawrence Research Fellows
As a Lawrence University Research Fellow, you will have the opportunity to participate in student-faculty collaborative research, whether it’s with our professors here on campus or with one of our collaborating off-campus programs around the world.
Research in SLUG
You can do specialized, climate-based research and gain graduate-level insights through hands-on work in the Sustainable Lawrence University Garden - all without leaving campus.
Accelerate your trajectory with high-level research
Build upon intensive chemistry, physics, and biology labs and become a Lawrence Undergraduate Research Fellow (LURF) in a lab on campus, in industry, or with a Lawrentian teaching at a major university around the world.
Start making a name for yourself
Dive into sub-fields that interest you as you gain insights from primary literature and practice cutting edge lab-techniques. As your experimental work grows in sophistication, publish your research in academic journals such as Innate Immunity and The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, and present your work at major conferences like the American Chemical Society, American Society for Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology National Meeting.
The Chandler Senior Experience
Demonstrate that you are an intentional, empowered learner who can adapt to new environments, integrate complex knowledge from different sources, and continue learning throughout life through your Senior Experience project.
Recent Senior Experiences include:
- Photodynamic cancer therapy: Porphyrin subphthalocyanine adduct synthesis and singlet oxygen generation
- Proposed Anticonvulsant Mechanisms of the Ketogenic Diet
