Undergraduate Research & Creative Works
Student Works Symposium
This symposium, organized by students, is an opportunity for students to showcase their research and creative works projects. Abstracts are submitted online in January, and the symposium occurs the first week in April. Last spring, the symposium was held on April 9, 2008.
King Creativity Fund
established by Dr. Joey King '93, is available to fund outstanding creative projects developed by students. Funding of up to $2,000 is used for supplies, equipment or travel and is awarded to students in all academic disciplines. The call for proposals occurs each Fall. King Scholars present their work at a banquet during the Spring semester.
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF-REU)
provides stipends, and in many cases, housing and travel for undergraduate student researchers. An REU site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. This website explains the program and provides a list of programs that are available. Students must contact and apply to specific REU sites.
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR)
Supports and promotes high quality student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship. The organization provides assistance in establishing and maintaining an undergraduate research program on your campus, provides summer stipends for student researchers, and has annual meetings to assist faculty and administrators in developing undergraduate research experiences.
National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)
NCUR's mission is to promote undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity done in partnership with faculty or other mentors as a vital component of higher education. NCUR holds an annual conference to showcase the results of undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity.
