Awards support student researchers by funding proposals for research projects under the guidance of faculty supervisors
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) is dedicated to supporting students who aspire to solve problems, make discoveries, and engage with research faculty beyond the classroom. Student researchers often gain significant advantages from these experiences, enhancing their graduate school applications and job placements. OUR also commends faculty supervisors, whose contributions sometimes go unnoticed. These awards support student researchers by funding their proposals for research projects under the guidance of faculty supervisors. The awardees will present their work at the undergraduate research symposium in Fall 2025.
