Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) is a campus-wide showcase for student research and creative activities. This year’s URCAD, featuring a plenary session with award winners (including winners of  The Library Undergraduate Research Award,) a lunchtime poster session, and concurrent afternoon presentations, is scheduled for April 3, 2009.

At this time, we invite proposals for the URCAD senior prizes for undergraduate research in four areas: arts and humanities; natural and applied sciences; social and behavioral sciences; and business, education, and professional studies.  Winners will receive $500 and an all-expense paid trip to the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), which will be at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse from April 16-18, 2009.

(You must be able to present at URCAD and to travel to NCUR to be eligible to win.)

Only seniors (those students graduating by December 2009) are eligible to apply.  Applications will be accepted through November 7.

In the spring, there will be a separate call for papers for the poster and presentation sessions.

Students who wish to be considered for these awards should first read the criteria of original research or creative activity, then submit an application form.   Any materials you wish the selection committee to consider that cannot be submitted on-line should be sent to Dr. Jason Jones in the Department of English, Willard 303.
