Eastern students conduct research in every major. Unlike at larger institutions, where faculty-mentored research is chiefly conducted by graduate students, Eastern students can start conducting professional research as early as their first year. Research projects can be team-based and part of a class or conducted as independent study. Students also have a host of presentation and publication opportunities to share their research and learn valuable professional/academic skills in the process. Faculty mentors in each academic department support student researchers, with overall coordination provided by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity.

More than 150 historians, graduate, and undergraduate students from across Connecticut filled the Student Center on Sept. 20 for a conference highlighting the forgotten histories of ethnic minorities in New England’s colonial era. “Present from the Start: People of Color in the Revolutionary Era” hosted a myriad of panels and presentations covering more than 200 years of legacy.
