More than 50 student research projects. Six weeks of full-time faculty mentorship. Ten years of undergraduate discovery.
For the past decade, the Loyola Marymount University Summer Opportunities for Advanced Research (SOAR) program has given LMU Seaver College students the opportunity to spend six weeks conducting full-time research alongside expert faculty mentors.
This summer, LMU Seaver College celebrated the program's 10th anniversary by showcasing more than 50 student research projects across science, engineering, and mathematics. From supporting NASA's Europa Clipper mission to advancing environmental cleanup and healthy aging, students are contributing to research that addresses real-world challenges.
At LMU, research opportunities begin early. Students work alongside faculty mentors, explore the questions that inspire them, and gain experience presenting their work at poster sessions and academic conferences, with some even co-authoring research publications.
