Professional & Polished: Funding Your Research Future

Are you a student researcher preparing for your next internship, fellowship, or research-based opportunity? Join us for this special University Research Week session to learn how the UNC Career Center can support funding your professional journey.

This session will introduce two key resources:

• Style for Success Program – Gain access to professional attire for interviews, research presentations, or conferences so you can represent your work with confidence.
• Marcia Harris Travel Fund – Apply for financial support to help cover costs associated with unpaid or underfunded research internships or professional experiences.

We’ll also hear insights from an early talent recruiter, who will share what employers and research partners look for when engaging emerging talent—and how you can stand out in competitive applicant pools.

Whether you’re presenting your work at a symposium, applying for research roles, or interviewing for your first internship, this session will give you the tools to show up confidently and professionally.

This is an in-person, CLE Credit event.
