HELLO
WILDCATS!
The Office of Undergraduate Research
(OUR) team is excited about next week's Webinar for Researchers
and upcoming events this month!!
Because
UK is an R1 institution, undergraduate research activities are celebrated and
highlighted, and student research success is an important part of our research
mission. The Office of Undergraduate Research supports undergraduate
research endeavors across the university and promotes research as a high impact
student experience to enhance readiness to succeed in future careers and
foster student success.
The
central Office of Undergraduate Research is currently undergoing
restructuring. Please see the communication from Dr. Lisa Cassis, Vice President for
Research on this process and the call for applicants for
the newly created position of Faculty Director of Undergraduate
Research.
WHAT
DOES THIS MEAN?
- Student
advising will now be conducted at the college-level and a list of college
contacts for undergraduate research can be found at the bottom of
the announcement

for Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships and Travel Grants now will
be determined at the college level. Students interested in

activities allowed in the near future.
