Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate Research Committee

The Undergraduate Research Committee (URC) draws members from all four colleges.

Committee members advise the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (OURCA), vet OURCA program applications, review and select Cupola submissions for publication, and serve as a think tank on campus for undergraduate research and creative activity.
