We save universities time and money by providing that service for you. Our staff of content managers makes sure each entry in our database is up to date.
SOC Connect provides the largest database of opportunities for Honors Students & Undergraduate Researchers in North America.
The entire database is updated every quarter, and growing at a rate of 5% per month.
Find over 10,000 conferences, symposiums, publications, and intern/scholar programs.
As the value of a college education becomes more and more dependant on experiential engagement, countless new events and opportunities are springing up around the country for students.
Find the following types of opportunities in our Database:
Students can browse a database of opportunities on: University, Local, State, & Regional levels.
It is hard to get a new student’s attention unless you have information that is relevant to that student’s unique interests. Instead of sending them a wild goose hunt across the internet, it is much more effective to give students specific links to specific events and opportunities they might like. It just takes that 1 event, that 1 experience, or that 1 mentor to spark their interest. Make their job (and yours) easier!
Our algorithm offers suggestions for upcoming events and opportunities based on your profile and activity.
Is your student starting to like her math classes? Send them to the regional AMS meeting. Is your student getting into his computer science classes? Tell them to apply for that Google Internship program. Is the Art club working on animation this year? Send them the link to the Pixar Animation Competition. SOC gives you the resources to turn a student’s general direction into specific actions that will ultimately be the experiences that will be the highlight of their college careers.
Students can subscribe to list-serves, across a variety of majors and fields of study.
We make it easy to keep students engaged and up to date on what’s happening. Users can sign up for newsletters for specific Majors and Areas of Interest. A biology student will be notified when a biology conference is approaching. A physics major will see a list of intern/scholar programs from the NSF. A creative writing major will be reminded of an upcoming publication deadline.
Keep track of how many students sign up, their searches, and their actions with our monitoring services.
See how many students sign up, when they sign up, and what they're looking for. Our analytics dashboard further allows administrators to see student's engagement on the site, and even allows virtual intros between like-minded students. Use SOC’s adoption analytics to learn how to better get your students involved, and keep them involved.
