OUT
OF STATE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

|
University
of Connecticut
|

Overview:
|
Many
undergraduates at UConn are currently engaged in research
programs under the thoughtful guidance of faculty mentors,
but seldom are the students given the opportunity to present
their work in a public manner. To provide such opportunities,
the University of Connecticut Honors Program has sponsored
for the past five years
Frontiers in Undergraduate Research, an exhibition in which
undergraduates engaged in research from a variety of disciplines
can present their work publicly. Last year, 60 posters ranging
from journalistic studies to molecular genetics were displayed
in the Student Union, coinciding with the University Open
House. Response to the exhibition from faculty, students
and campus visitors was overwhelmingly positive.
The University of Connecticut is listed as the top public
research institution in this part of the country. Our faculty
is gifted and well known for their discoveries. Undergraduate
Research places our students in extremely valuable situations.
You will have the opportunity to work closely with scholars
who are experts in your interest area. You will gain first-hand
experience in your subject. You will be the recipient of
an invaluable mentor by establishing a stronger relationship
with a faculty member. You will build a very impressive
resume and academic record, which will introduce you to
the graduate school or position of your choice. Above all,
you will learn life long lessons that only an experience
like this can give you.

Eligibility: |
-
Any undergraduate or team of undergraduate students involved
in an original project work, that has progressed to the point
that permits communication of its essence, is encouraged to
submit an abstract.
- The Frontiers selection committee, composed of faculty and
staff representing nine departments across campus will evaluate
abstracts.
- Up to 60 will be accepted for presentation at the poster
exhibition during the Spring Semester in the Wilbur Cross
Building.
Please note! If an eligible undergraduate will graduate in
December, or will otherwise be away from campus during the
spring semester, their work can still be submitted. If their
abstract is accepted for presentation, then the advisor and/or
peer, familiar with the work, will be required to attend the
poster exhibition.
