New Mexico State University (NMSU) has announced that the 27th annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Arts Symposium (URCAS) returns to an in-person format on April 29.
According to NMSU, after two years of being mostly online, the symposium hosted by NMSU’s Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity will celebrate and showcase undergraduate scholarly activity in all fields.
In 2021, the event was sponsored by several bodies affiliated with NMSU. They include the National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (S-STEM) program for engineering-bound transferring students from Doña Ana Community College to NMSU College of Engineering; the Alliance for Minority Participation, the Center for Excellence in Sustainable Food and Agricultural Systems, the College Assistant Migrant Program, Discovery Scholars, Pi Sigma Alpha, the College of Engineering, and the NMSU Library.
2022 program events listed include a poster session featuring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) laboratory experiences, design projects, performances of musical compositions, and other plenary events.
“NMSU has a long-standing tradition of undergraduates working with mentors on research and creative activities, from lab experiences in STEM to capstone projects, student exhibits, and performances in the arts,” said Tracey Miller-Tomlinson, director of the NMSU Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, in a statement. “Few research institutions offer undergraduates as many opportunities to work closely with mentors in their fields to identify and solve problems, learn cutting-edge skills, and design original projects. These experiences can be life-changing.”
“Since 1995, the spring Undergraduate Research and Creative Arts Symposium has celebrated the work of undergraduate scholars and brought it to a larger audience,” Miller-Tomlinson said. “We are excited that the event will return in person this year and invite the entire university community to join us in honoring these scholars and their dedicated mentors.” For more information, visit https://nmsu.news/urcas
