Participants will also be invited to register for the OUR Speaker’s Bureau and talk about their experiences during Sophomore Reorientation and other campus venues. Students meeting CRSP requirements will receive the designation “Carolina Research Scholar” on their transcripts. To learn more about the program, including instructions on how to register, please visit the CRSP page on this website.
