Seattle University Undergraduate Research Association 

NCUR 

Seattle University proudly sends a contingent of scholars across all disciplines to attend the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in order to make presentations on their faculty-mentored research projects.  The Seattle University Undergraduate Research Association coordinates this effort and selects and mentors the students in the process of traveling and preparing for presentations at a large professional conference. In 2010, 24 students represented Seattle University at NCUR, held in Missoula, Montana.  In 2011, 24 students represented Seattle University at the NCUR conference in Ithaca, New York. For 2012 26 students traveled to Ogden, Utah to represent Seattle University.    

All undergraduates involved in independent research projects mentored by SU faculty are encouraged to participate in the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. NCUR 2013 will be held at the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse from April 11-13, 2013. For more information on the conference, please check the NCUR website: http://www.cur.org/ncur_2013
