A conference for students run by students
The Undergraduate Research Conference was created for students by students to give UI's undergraduates a low-risk space to learn about undergraduate research. Students gathered for a two hour conference (with food!) to hear from a faculty speaker, learn about what undergraduate research is, and find out how to get involved. This year's conference was geared toward first and second year students (though all years were welcome!) who are interested in research involvement.
