The UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH & CREATIVE ACTIVITIES (URECA) program, founded in 1987, awards research funding and travel grants to undergraduates, and is a central point of contact for students and faculty engaged in research and creative endeavors. URECA helps bring together students and research mentors, hosts annual events to showcase student work, and publishes an annual collection of undergraduate abstracts. Check our URECA website for “Researcher of the Month” features. URECA is a program within the Office of the Provost/Division of Undergraduate Education and is funded in part by the Simons Foundation.
Every year, students submit an abstract for the poster symposium. The SoMAS students who presented posters at the URECA Celebration are listed below, with their poster title and mentor.
