URN Calendar of Events
URN organizes and sponsors numerous research-related events
each year. The most notable of these events is UVA
Research Week, which occurs in the Spring. During Research Week, URN
hosts workshops, arranges fireside chats with faculty, and
facilitates student research presentations. The newest edition
of The Oculus, UVA's Undergraduate Research Journal, is also
unveiled during Research Week. The final day of Research
Week is devoted to the Research Symposium, where talented
undergraduates present their original research projects.
Throughout each semester, URN also works closely with the
Center for Undergraduate
Excellence (CUE) in an effort to
publicize and promote undergraduate research opportunities
at UVA and elsewhere. To this end, URN holds workshops to
help interested students get involved with research and plans
social events where students can gather and discuss their
research interests and experiences. URN's general body meetings
are undergoing reform and are not being held as of now.
The calendar below lists URN's planned events for 2008-2009. Please check back for updates and additions to the
calendar.
