Email and talk to all your professors about it. Like, borderline harass them.

I can assure you, your college is most likely always looking for people to do research and they just don’t advertise it. My college has people that TA, clean up and prepare labs, prepare specimens, etc. And they get paid for all of that while they officially do research. Then there’s also people who specifically do research research.

a lot of colleges will have the profs on their website and what theyre up to, if not just email em and chat. chat before class or after class too!
