Undergraduate student team represents the future of research

A Boise State team has been accepted to participate in the 2024-25 Students Transforming Through Research Advocacy Program. The team is made up of mentor Nicolas Diaz, a senior student initiatives coordinator in the Institute for Inclusive and Transformative Scholarship, alongside undergraduate students Jacob Scott, Amethyst Tagney and Joselyn Gutierrez.

The five-month program will include skill-building exercises aimed at developing their communication and advocacy skills, helping to empower them to convey the strength of the high-impact practices of undergraduate research, scholarship and creative inquiry experience to diverse stakeholder groups.

"Students at Boise State continue to make an impact in academic research and creative activities every day," said Diaz. "Students participating in this program are no exception. Their curiosity and passion for research is contagious. The program will provide a wonderful opportunity to complement the work they are doing in various research labs and teams. Academic communication and advocacy are two skills worth nurturing, elevating the work that happens on campus and boosting the impact of research."

The program is a competitive, application-based professional development opportunity for teams consisting of a campus representative and one to three undergraduate students. The 2024-25 cohort comprises teams that represent 57 institutions from 22 states and are made up of 65 campus representatives and 146 undergraduate researchers.
