This summer, more than 150 UD undergraduate students have worked on a range of research projects in disciplines all across the university as well as in the community. Over the past 10 weeks, they have collaborated with their faculty mentors and, in many cases, with other undergraduates and with graduate students, learning how original research takes place and creating new knowledge themselves.

Marinelle Zarraga, a rising sophomore at the University of Delaware, spent the summer of 2016 learning about the variety of veterinary careers available and the many perks and challenges associated with the field. She received hands on experiences while working with professors as her exposure to the many aspects of the field grew.
