National Conference on Undergraduate Research
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is the largest conference on undergraduate research in the country. Each year, approximately 4,000 undergraduates from all over
the country present their scholarship as posters, oral presentations, performances,
and works of art. It is a great opportunity for students to present their research
and network with other undergraduate researchers. In addition, there are graduate
school and career fairs at the conference. KSU hosted this conference April 11-13, 2019.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to make NCUR 2021 a virtual event, NCUR 2021 @Home! As we receive more information regarding the event, we will pass it on to you.
Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Research at our@kennesaw.edu if you have any questions.
