Office of Undergraduate Research Announcements

OUR Events and Reminders

• Federal Work Study Research Assistant applicationsare open for AY22-23! You can read more about requirements, expectations, and details on the OUR FWS page. If you are a student, please apply using this form (check your eligibility prior to applying). You do not need to have a particular mentor or job (from MyPack) in mind to apply; while this does facilitate the process, if you haven’t found a job/mentor yet, go ahead and apply! You still need to apply even if you have a mentor. If you are faculty/staff wishing to serve as a mentor, let us know.
• The OUR will host a Fall seminar series with professional development and research-related topics. You can view the most current list of topics, days, and times at this link. You can also register at the link; remember, you can add choices at any time during the semester. We will fill in TBD topic descriptions soon. Everyone is welcome–current researchers, students interested in research, and those who aren’t sure about research!
  
• Fall Sidewalk Symposium will be held September 28 from 11:00-1:00. Demonstrate your creative side, practice presenting your work (finished or in progress), and/or come to view the research art! Submit using this survey through September 16.
  
• The State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) will be held in December at UNC Wilmington. More info coming soon.
