Happy National Transfer Student Week. UROP wants to give a special shoutout to our Changing Gears students.

Changing Gears (CG) is a UROP program designed primarily for community college transfer students who will be attending the University of Michigan, but also serves students transferring from 4-year institutions. Students in the CG Program become a part of an ongoing faculty-driven research, scholarly, or creative project in their field of interest. Students learn valuable academic skills, applying these skills to their research project, academics, and future career opportunities, while receiving academic credit or compensation for their efforts in research work.
