Ñý¼§Ö±²¥
Founded in 2022, the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR@UM) enriches and supports undergraduate research across the disciplines at the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥. Part of the Broader Impacts Group, OUR@UM works to foster vibrant undergraduate research and creative scholarship communities, culminating each year in the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR).
OUR@UM supports undergraduate research and creative scholarship by
- cultivating spaces where undergraduate scholars can conceptualize, carry out, and communicate their project observations, responses, and findings with different audiences (the Three C's!);
- advising Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ at all stages in their project development during individual appointments;
- offering workshops and events series focused on scholarly and civic engagement;
- connecting Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ with faculty members and community partners to advance mentorship and to support spaces that engage Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ in research and creative scholarship;
- highlighting and honoring undergraduate scholars and their projects, including at UMCUR, during an annual award's ceremony, and in the Amplified@UM Podcast; and
- developing a UM undergraduate research and creative scholarship journal.
