Because many of these might be longer than a standard tweet, we suggest posting to our facebook page. If you're not already a fan, check it out today!
Held just before Undergraduate Research Week, the University of Kentucky hosted NCUR 2014, April 3-5. The mission of the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is to promote undergraduate research scholarship and creative activity done in partnership with faculty or other mentors as a vital component of education.
Please remind your students about the ongoing opportunity for them to use CUR's Registry of Undergraduate Researchers to assist them in their pursuit of a graduate degree. The purpose of the Registry of Undergraduate Researchers is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates with research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, and graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research. Currently, the Registry is open to students and graduate schools/employers in nearly all fields. We strongly encourage students attending NCUR 2014 at University of Kentucky to use the Registry service in association with visiting graduate program recruiters present at the conference. For more information please visit the registry homepage.
