Don't forget to get a photo of yourself or your group working on your project. This will be required for your Final Project Report and is just a wonderful record of your experience.
Also consider sharing your photo on social media. OUR loves to be thanked for Project Award funding on social media — it's a great way for other UWF students to see what is possible! Don't forget to share details about your project and how the experience impacted you. Please tag OUR so we can see it (@uwf_our).
Closing the Loop: Don't Forget Your Resume
It's a good idea to add your research and project conference to your resume or CV as soon as you complete it so you don't forget all the details! You could add your research as "Relevant Experience" or "Research Experience" among other sections.
Here's an example of how you can list your research experience:
Research project, English Department, University of West Florida, December 2025-April 2026
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jane Smith
Then list your project details and what your role in the project was as bullet points!
Research experience can also help students build skills future employers will want to know about! Think about what skills you developed while preparing for and working on the project — if you need ideas, check out the list of Example Skills on the CDCE's Argo2Pro page.
