Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR)! As we prepare for the upcoming Spring 2024 semester, we’re thrilled to share OUR’s Spring workshop calendar. We will be offering both in-person and virtual dates for each workshop.
We kindly ask that you please distribute this notice to undergraduates in your unit and encourage them to participate. To support your promotional efforts, we’ve prepared promotional graphics and flyers, accessible through the link below. We hope you will assist us in promoting these workshops by including these graphics in your emails to students and newsletters, and by posting them to digital signs on campus (e.g., screens in departmental lobbies, residence halls, etc.).

Prepare to give a successful presentation at the Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) by attending two insightful URS-themed workshops. The first, “The Application,” delves into URS details, application insights, and presentation types. The second, “The Event,” covers crafting and delivering engaging and successful presentations. While tailored for URS preparation, both sessions are beneficial for any student gearing up for a presentation. Join us for a comprehensive guide to showcasing your research effectively. |
