RPI students have a unique sense of dedication to their craft, describable only as a 'fervor' for that which makes them tick. AUR is committed to cultivating an environment that encourages this attitude of academic diligence in everything we do, research or otherwise.

Fervor is important, but offers little utility if not actionable- too often at universities, student passion goes unfed from lack of hands-on experience. Exposing research opportunities (within the Institute and beyond) to the student body, and equipping those interested to tackle them head on, is of supreme importance to AUR.

Experience without creativity is nothing more than a job. Proposing ideas can be difficult, but the best research pitch is a changeup - projects that break the mold are projects that change the world. That's why AUR is committed to advocating to students the immense value of getting creative with research ideas.
