What: 2018 Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Conference

Who: The Office for Undergraduate Research is hosting the event. All undergraduate students, as well as the public are welcome and encouraged to attend.

 “URCA participants are top-tier students who grow the University of Alabama’s vision and create lasting impact,” said Annaliese Bolland, assistant director for undergraduate research. 

When:  Registration and Kickoff will take place March 28 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., with the conference taking place on Thursday, March 29, beginning at 8 a.m. The event will culminate with events on Friday, including a showcase and closing ceremony.

Where: Ferguson Student Center Ballroom

Why: Bolland said attending the conference exposes the UA community to what undergraduates are doing and shows students who aren’t involved yet what they can do.

“The Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Conference and Creative Showcase offers the University of Alabama community an opportunity to recognize student leaders through their innovative scholarship,” Bolland said.
