2023 Undergraduate Research Conference: Call for Nominations
The Undergraduate Research Hub (URH) invites your nomination of outstanding undergraduate students to present at the 36th Annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC), to be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The deadline to nominate up to three presenters is Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
This year’s Conference marks our 36th anniversary of celebrating intellectual excellence at UC San Diego. We are grateful for the role you play in sustaining and enriching the only campus-wide conference to recognize undergraduate scholars in all fields and providing them the opportunity to present their research findings at small roundtables moderated by an expert in their discipline. It is thanks to your participation that the URC is considered one of UC San Diego’s most prestigious academic events for undergraduates. In turn, our students greatly appreciate the opportunity to be recognized by their peers, mentors, friends, and family.
We are pleased to announce that this year’s event will be held in person for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are excited to once again meet face-to-face to allow for increased engagement, participation, and natural conversations among presenters, mentors, and guests.
The URC supports the scholarly and creative accomplishments of UC San Diego students and encourages them to pursue even more opportunities to engage in meaningful research activities at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, and even professional level. To participate in the URC, students must be nominated by a UC San Diego faculty member. Student presenters will share the results of their research and respond to questions and comments from their session’s moderator and guests.
To nominate students for this year’s URC, please complete the following online form by Wednesday, March 1, and inform your student(s) of the nomination. The URH will then reach out to the student(s) with further instructions: https://bit.ly/urc2023-nomination
In addition, we hope you will consider serving as a roundtable moderator at the event. You may be a moderator even if you have not nominated a student. If you would like to serve as a moderator, please register on this form by Friday, March 31: https://na.eventscloud.com/URC2023.
Your nomination of undergraduate presenters and/or participation in this uniquely inclusive scholastic event provides vital support to the prestige of undergraduate research at UC San Diego. We appreciate your encouragement of this valuable program.
