The Undergraduate Research and Creative Works (URCW) program encourages and supports the establishment of collaborative partnerships between nurturing faculty mentors and enterprising students, in all majors! Within these partnerships students build skills in critical thinking, communication, problem solving, and collaboration. These mentored projects lead to the production of finished works suitable for publication, exhibition, or presentation in either professional or public forums. In this way, the overarching goal of the URCW program is to provide students with inquiry based or creative opportunities for experiences that many students would receive only in graduate school or the professional world, helping make our graduates more marketable in a very competitive job market.
