Congratulations to the 53 SPUR scholars, faculty mentors, and the U research teams. The University of Utah welcomed our research teams with the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) at yesterday’s luncheon. Food for thought from Associate Dean Annie Isabel Fukushima during her welcome remarks:

1. We all started somewhere, and it just takes one person to believe in you. Believe in yourself; you can do this.

2. All discoveries, even those that do not show us what we thought was going to happen, are important for furthering knowledge and science.

3. Be open to the journey – it is not about the job, but the experience.

Thank you to SAVPAA and Dean Chase Hagood for his ongoing support, and the Undergraduate Studies communications team.
