We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.
Carl Sagan
RCPRS students have inquiring minds. They pursue knowledge and understanding in microbiology, music, architecture, engineering, communication, and many other fields. They publish their work as undergraduate researchers in scholarly journals and often are the youngest presenters at conferences.
Regardless of their field of study, Rawlings CPRS students are leaders in the perennial quest for knowledge and discovery central to the university's mission. Through the courage of their questions and the depth of their answers, they find value in their education and, ultimately, meaning in their lives.
