Introducing the URC's Peer Mentor Scholar: Emilie Conners

The role of the Peer Mentor Scholar is to mentor students interested in getting involved with undergraduate research, provide guidance related to URECA grants (proposal, budget, timeline) and the dissemination process.

Emilie Conners
Emilie Conners  SOAR Student Mentor

Emilie is a member of MTSU’s Honors College and is a senior Marketing major with a concentration in Professional Selling. She is currently a Peer Mentor Scholar for the Student Organization for the Advancement of Research (SOAR). She is an Honors College Transfer Fellow as well as a student worker for the Jones College Advising Center. She has received an assistant-level URECA grant pertaining to her research in the marketing field.  

It wasn’t too long ago when I was at the beginning of my research journey with lots of questions and hesitations. I know the process can feel overwhelming and is a lot to handle on your own. I’m happy to tell you that it’s not something you have to navigate on your own; I’m just one of the many resources here to help you see the potential in yourself and in your work. With the knowledge I’ve gained from my research experience, I’d love to assist you in overcoming any challenges you may be facing in regard to your research journey.  - Emilie

Contact Emilie at emc5w@mtmail.mtsu.edu for URECA related inquires and mentoring.
