UROP Alumni Spotlight: Congratulations, Anna Luurtsema! 🌟

We are proud to celebrate former UROP student Anna Luurtsema, whose undergraduate research experience at the University of Michigan has led to a forthcoming publication!

Anna, now a Ph.D. student in Anthropology at Penn State and a practicing archaeologist, studies the production of heritage, place, and identity. Her research journey began at U-M through UROP, where she worked alongside her UROP mentor, Dr. Alicia Ventresca-Miller.

Anna’s forthcoming article is a powerful example of how undergraduate research can spark meaningful scholarly contributions that extend well beyond graduation. We are thrilled to celebrate her continued success and the lasting impact of her UROP experience.

Congratulations, Anna, on this incredible achievement — and Go Blue! 💙
