"In educational discourse, we often focus on areas of weakness. It's equally important to acknowledge areas in which students excel. The CISER Research Scholars are some of our best and brightest students. They are each engaged in cutting-edge research and are building credentials to become future leaders in research, technology, medicine, and teaching." ― Dr. Roman Taraban, Assessment Coordinator for the CISER Undergraduate Research Scholars at Texas Tech University.
