Do you have a data or research project you need help with? CONNECT is here to help!
UT CONNECT brings together Masters, PhD's, and Post-docs with Community Organizations to assist in data, research, and evaluation projects.
These short-term (3-4 months) projects, help organizations understand their client or community landscape, gain meaningful insight into their work, and achieve their desired social impact. In return, students gain experience in delivering high-quality, actionable work to support the organizations work for years to come.
Projects are primarily remote and asynchronous, with optional meetings determined by the student-organization team.
We are now accepting project proposals for Summer 2026! Don’t know your exact project? That’s okay - submit your ideas and UT will help with the rest.
