November 3, 2015

Undergraduate Research and Artistry DayMark your 2016 calendars now.

NIU’s Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning has scheduled Tuesday, April 19, for the seventh annual Undergraduate Research and Artistry Day (URAD) and the third annual Community Engagement Showcase (CES).

The events, which are free and open to the public, will take place in the Duke Ellington Ballroom of the Holmes Student Center.

All undergraduate students who have participated in faculty-mentored research or artistry projects are eligible to showcase their work at URAD. This includes independent studies, capstone projects, USOAR, SROP, Research Rookies, SEF, EURA or any other related research/artistry projects.

Undergraduates currently enrolled at NIU who have participated in community-based service or research are encouraged to showcase their work at the CES.

This includes work completed during a service learning course, internship or a service-learning project done as part of a student service organization, such as NIU Deaf Pride, Huskie Alternative Breaks, Huskie Service Scholars, NIU Service Leaders and Sophomores in Service.

About 350 students presented their projects last spring.

Online registration for URAD and CES opens Tuesday, Jan. 19. For more information, call (815) 753-8154 or email urad@niu.edu.
