The Inquiry Initiative is dedicated to increasing and enhancing student experiences in collaborative research, in many ways the pinnacle of inquiry-based learning. We are working to foster a culture of scientific research at Southwestern in addition to promoting student investigative learning, persistence in the science, and success!

The Inquiry Initiative is dedicated to equal opportunity and creating an inclusive learning environment in the science and math programs at Southwestern. Accordingly, we strongly encourage applications from students who are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences and welcome participants from diverse racial, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds. Every student interested in research is encouraged to apply!
