Undergraduate Research Center Council
Utilizing a nomination and selection process that occurs through shared governance, the URC Council includes staff, administration, and faculty representatives from every college. Council members actively serve on a variety of URC initiatives and committees that support student success. Council members also act as the voice of our faculty. The duties of the council members, aside from attending regular council meetings, include acting as judges and moderators during the Undergraduate Research Symposium, acting as reviewers for the grant cycle, and providing ideas and feedback on events and planning within the URC.
