For this blog I’m going to highlight a significant person
that I believe the Lab Rats-Undergraduate Research LLC would benefit a lot
from. Without any doubt, Nigel Rothfels, the Director of the Office Of Undergraduate Research is the
person to go to when it comes to research. Most of us know Nigel as an outgoing
and very positive individual with a great laugh that is impossible to not join
in the fun. But there is more to him
than just a smile and since I could not have said it better than his small
biography in the Office Of Undergraduate Research website, I took the liberty
to post it in here for you guys…
Nigel attended
college at the University of Utah, received his Ph.D. in History from Harvard
University, and has held post-doctoral research fellowships from Princeton
University, the Australian National University, and the National Endowment for
the Humanities. He is the author of Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the
Modern Zoo (2002) and the editor of a cross-disciplinary collection of
essays, Representing Animals (2002). He has been at UWM since 1994,
serving as Assistant Director of the Center for Twentieth (now 21st) Century
Studies, and then as Director of the Edison Initiative in the College of
Letters and Science, before becoming the Director of the Office of
Undergraduate Research in 2007.
Now, I know that we are all very impressed buy such career
but never be afraid to get know him better since his youthful personality will
make you feel right at home. To contact Nigel and get connected with the Office Of Undergraduate Research go to https://www4.uwm.edu/our/staff.cfm
