The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) was announced to campus last semester, and we're reaching out to you today to update our campus collaborators on programs, services, and events OUR will provide this spring and summer as we continue to grow and define OUR mission.
- Immersive Research Internship Experience (IRIE)
We are excited to launch a new campus-wide undergraduate research program this summer. We piloted the operation of this new opportunity during the summers of 2022 and 2023 and served nearly 300 total undergraduate students with an 8-week immersive, on-campus, faculty-mentored research internship experience. We are now ready for our new office to serve the campus as a whole and welcome student applications through March 31, 2024.
- Student-Proposed Innovation & Research Experience (SPIRE)
We are also launching SPIRE - an undergraduate research program that provides opportunities for undergraduates to work closely with faculty mentors on summer research projects while actively engaging with the broader community of SPIRE researchers. Students must begin the pre-proposal process for this program soon - by February 16, 2024.
- Undergraduate Research Day (URD) will be held in the Stamp Student Union on April 17, 2024. Our website provides students with complete information about how to propose, prepare, and deliver a poster presentation at this campus-wide event.
- This summer, OUR will launch a new event that brings together students and faculty of many backgrounds and disciplines who participate in on-campus research during the summer term. The event will be held in late July and is called the Summer Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC). More information about participation will be provided to our collaborators and students soon!
- While OUR website has been designed to provide broad information about these programs and events, we recognize that we do not always know everything students need to know to pursue these opportunities. We want to learn and help!
- We will be hosting information sessions on Zoom on:
Friday, February 9, 2024 - 2:00 pm
Tuesday, February 13, 2024 - 4:00 pm
We are passionate scholars and believers in the transformational impact of undergraduate research experiences, and thank you for your ongoing support and spirit of collaboration.
