HOGL embraces its role in the academic community by providing undergraduate students with work experience and professional mentorship. Most projects with student participation revolve around genotyping for the purpose of studying population genetics (whether it is human origins, conservation of endangered species, or testing subjects for medical studies). Students do not need to have experience to apply and students that already have experience in a lab setting will be placed on an appropriate project. However, the most important qualifications is a student's willingness to commit to the project and their enthusiasm for learning. Our lab requires students to volunteer prior to being offered paid employment. The time frame is dependent on level of commitment, and is usually around 3 months. However, there are possibilities for gaining school credit during this period while working in the lab. Working for credit will require the completion of an independent project by the end of the semester.
