Overview

The Center for Undergraduate Research was formed in August 2012 as a part of the University’s strategic plan, Bold Aspirations.

Our Mission
The Center for Undergraduate Research seeks to transform undergraduate education through research. We do this by working with instructors and mentors to develop and promote curricula and models for mentoring; engaging and advising students in their development as researchers; and by providing campus-wide programs that celebrate undergraduate research at KU.

We work with:

Students
We offer a variety of programs for students as they get involved, learn more, and then share their work;

Mentors
We support and recognize outstanding mentoring of undergraduate students on the KU campus;

Instructors
We provide instructor resources, recognition, and unique programs to promote research in the classroom;

Alumni
We connect with alumni to keep them up to date on their alma mater and to share their success with the research community at KU.
