What Students Say
"Getting to present my research at the URCC allowed me to know the joy of sharing my work with others! Even just seeing my poster printed, made me feel like I had done something worthwhile—something tangible and real. At the symposium, I loved getting to speak to my peers, professors, and loved-ones about my project and getting to share my knowledge with others. Since there weren’t other posters about [my topic], I got to feel like a momentary expert on the topic, and thrived in the confidence of knowing that I had something unique to share."To stay current on all the latest URCC news, join the URCC mailing list.
