In this episode of Together: A Higher-Ed Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Annie Isabel Fukushima and Dr. Alexa Sand to explore the transformative impact of undergraduate research.
Dr. Fukushima and Dr. Sand share their journeys into academia, the mentors who shaped their careers, and how they now empower students to become researchers, innovators, and leaders. They discuss the importance of fostering curiosity, embracing failure, and breaking barriers to make research accessible to all students—regardless of background or discipline.
We also dive into the upcoming 25th Anniversary of Research on Capitol Hill, an event showcasing the best undergraduate research from Utah’s top institutions. Learn more here: https://our.utah.edu/education-events/research-on-capitol-hill/
