<p>cowboy..u did a genetic lab as research....what year are you...that is one of the things that i am concern with...i am leading towards a biology major....and i search the vandy websites for hours and cannot find a lot of opportunites..</p>
<p>kelqu, I don't know about genetics or biology, but my son got involved in computer science research his first semester on campus. He just went to a professor's office and talked to him about his research and asked if there was something he could get started on. You don't have to have a formal, organized program administered from a special office to get involved; just bone up on what some of the profs are working on, and talk to them.</p>
<p>midmo's right</p>
<p>i actually think that i talked to her concerning my transfer last year :)</p>
<p>anyhow i got an email from my advisor in biomedical engineering and responded and competed for the job; unfortunately i decided to give it up due to my change in desire (i'm now a mechanical engineer) but most people just walk into teachers rooms/labs and ask for open positions.</p>
<p>to answer your question, i am a sophomore</p>
<p>and additionally, regardless of your major, the advisors always send emails to every member of that major regarding interns/jobs in the industry/ etc.</p>
<p>that is one of the best things about vanderbilt though...definitely focused on the undergrads</p>
<p>but one thing you should know: vanderbilt genetics and biology is incredible; possibly the country's best (next to JHU or something) but i mean really first day you'll know what i'm talking about</p>
