Undergraduate Research Committee

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

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