Program Overview
Shine Bright: Present Your Work at the UCR Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium!
Hey UCR Highlanders! Are you working on something incredible? Maybe you're deep in a lab experiment, uncovering historical truths, developing a stunning art project, or even designing the next big app. If you're involved in any kind of undergraduate research or creative activity here at UCR, then get ready to be celebrated! The annual Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium is your moment to shine, a vibrant campus-wide event that puts your hard work and brilliant ideas center stage. It's a fantastic opportunity to share what you've discovered, connect with fellow student innovators, and get recognized for your dedication!
This isn't just a formal presentation; it's a dynamic and positive learning experience for everyone involved, from presenters to guests. Imagine showcasing your project to a diverse audience, engaging in stimulating conversations, and even inspiring others with your passion! Whether you're presenting a poster, delivering an oral presentation, or exhibiting a creative piece, the Symposium provides an invaluable platform to hone your communication skills, build your confidence, and receive constructive feedback. It’s a chance to see the incredible breadth of talent across all disciplines at UCR, from the sciences and engineering to the humanities, arts, and social sciences. You'll be amazed by the innovative work happening right here on campus!
And here's where the excitement really kicks in! For those who truly knock it out of the park, there's an extra layer of recognition. Students selected as the best presenters in their respective colleges are highlighted as exemplary researchers – a truly prestigious honor that acknowledges your outstanding work. But it gets even better: these top-tier presenters are then invited to an exclusive, hosted lunch with the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPDUE)! This is an incredible networking opportunity, a chance to connect directly with UCR's leadership, and to discuss your research and future aspirations in a unique setting. So, if you're ready to showcase your brilliance, gain invaluable experience, and potentially earn some serious accolades, start preparing your projects now!
