Michigan Research and Discovery Scholars (MRADS) provides an opportunity for first-year students of any potential major to participate in a year-long research project with UM faculty. Members live with other students participating in research, join in peer-led study groups, and participate in social events throughout the year. Beyond research events, last year MRADS students held game nights, talent shows, and participated in craft activities. Sophomore student leaders who participated in MRADS during their first year also live in Mosher-Jordan and serve as mentors and research advisors to first-year students.
