Leverage Your Research Experience (LYRE)
In collaboration with the Directors of Academic Engagement, the Undergraduate Research Support Office is pleased to host the Leverage Your Research Experience Program, also known as LYRE!
LYRE is a series of workshops offered to all undergraduate students conducting or interested in embarking on a research path at Duke. It is designed to help you process what you’re learning, develop your skills as a researcher, and prepare for more opportunities. Feel free to attend those that seem the most beneficial to you (You can pick and choose).
Note: These workshops are held in person and will not be on Zoom.
Upcoming LYRE Workshops
All fall 2024 workshops are confirmed! Most of these sessions will be held in the Bostock Library’s 127 Edge Workshop Room (unless noted otherwise).
