Great message Ahmed!
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of returning to the University of Delaware Dover campus—where I began my collegiate journey with an Associate in Arts degree—to present on "The Value of Undergraduate Research." It was inspiring to share how undergraduate research has opened doors for me and to encourage students to seize these opportunities for growth. I also had the chance to connect with other undergraduate researcher speakers, whose stories and insights added so much depth to the event. The presentation was broadcasted via Zoom to the Wilmington and Georgetown campuses, making it a truly collaborative experience across the UD Associate in Arts Program community.? Through the Delaware INBRE program, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work in Dr. Jeremy Crenshaw's Falls and Mobility Lab, studying biomechanics and exploring different aspects of walking stability. This research has not only deepened my understanding of the field but also strengthened my critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.? Undergraduate research is more than just a resume booster—it’s a chance to discover your passions, contribute to meaningful work, and grow both personally and professionally.? A huge thank you to the Dover campus for inviting me back, to the INBRE program and the Falls and Mobility Lab for supporting my research journey, and to everyone who made this event possible. It was a joy to share this experience with fellow researchers and students across the UD campuses.
