95 Research Reflection by Pierce Christoffersen

Faculty Mentor: Phillip Singer (Political Science University of Utah)

My undergraduate research experience has had a tremendous impact on my education and future goals, as it is the projects and experiences I have had as an undergraduate researcher that have led me to apply to graduate school, specifically a Ph.D. in Political Science. Moreover, the research I have been fortunate enough to participate in here at the University of Utah has informed the types of research and work I would like to continue to do in and beyond graduate school. I can say without a doubt that my undergraduate research opportunities have had the biggest impact on my education, future goals, and me as an individual when compared to the other opportunities and experiences I have had at the University of Utah.
