The Benefits of Undergraduate Research

Doing research in your undergraduate years is a great way to gain early experience in the procedures and methods involved in carrying it out, and sets you apart from the crowd. We strongly encourage you not to let your ideas collect dust. If you need any guidance in the process, the members of the ASU West Valley community garden are happy to help!
