On-Campus Research as a Freshman?

<p>Does that mean I contact professors in that area of study semi-randomly and hope they’re currently involved in research? Or is there a comprehensive list of research projects currently going on floating around somewhere (much like Berkeley’s URAP – <a href=“http://research.berkeley.edu/urap/projects/list-socsci.lasso[/url]”>http://research.berkeley.edu/urap/projects/list-socsci.lasso&lt;/a&gt;) ?</p>

<p>Also, would it matter if I’m not studying what I want to do research in (but may plan on transferring later on)? Currently in CAS but looking into Marketing, Communications, etc which are both in CALS. </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
