UROP

The UROP program at the UM helps place students with professors in great research settings. I’ve gained a lot from my project.

Unfortunately, they also feel compelled to run a mandatory side program for all participants. It’s an insulting waste of time. Here’s an email I got yesterday:

Hey Scholars-

On Wednesday, we will be having the annual UROP Career Fair. The social sciences portion of the career fair will be held in the Dennison Building. There will be two session: 6-6:45 and 6:45-7:30. You are required to attend AND SIGN-INTO both. I have attached an Excel file with each of your names and the two rooms you are required to report to. Please let me know if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT: please write down the two room numbers of where you’re required to go b/c there will be a lot of people there. If you don’t sign-into both, you will not receive credit for attending. Sorry.

-Doug

What will happen in those two rooms is a mystery. Good bye, 90 more minutes of my time.
