The OUR Research Ambassador team is a group of undergraduate students who have their own experience in undergraduate research and a passion for promoting undergraduate research at The University of Alabama.

What Do OUR Research Ambassadors Do?
- One-on-one advising with students to help students find research opportunities and develop individualized research plans.
- Promote undergraduate research involvement and opportunities.
- Visit classes, clubs, and other organizations to discuss research opportunities.
- Participate in all events sponsored by the Office for Undergraduate Research
