Undergraduate Research (UR) Committee Mission Statement

The UR Committee at Utah Tech promotes, coordinates and celebrates undergraduate student research achievements across our campus. To draw attention to outstanding student accomplishments, the committee hosts an annual student research day. The committee also assists with and recommends student proposals for inclusion in the annual Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research.

The UR Committee is comprised of faculty members from multiple disciplines, undergraduate research interns, and UTSA student representatives. The Committee meets bi-monthly to discuss, plan and coordinate research activities across campus.
