Featured undergraduate research

Undergraduate Research Showcase

Research highlights that make undergraduate inquiry, student work, and faculty mentorship visible across disciplines.

The purpose

A public home for undergraduate inquiry

The showcase is designed for concise, accessible accounts of student research and the teaching relationships behind it. It may grow toward more formal publication pathways in the future, but it is not a peer-reviewed journal.
