Student & Faculty Research
“The Honors Program provided me with the opportunity to become a research assistant as early as my freshman year. This exceptional experience, particularly with the financial focus of the publication I worked with, allowed me to develop technical expertise with the Bloomberg Terminal and Excel. This early exposure not only gave me a significant advantage in the job market, but it also connected me to caring faculty that to this day continue to support me in both my academic and professional journey.” – Tabata P. ’25
