Massachusetts Statewide Undergraduate Research Conference

Each year undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds from across the Massachusetts Public System of Higher Education gather to present the results of their original work in oral and poster presentations before their peers, faculty and the public.

Students present work related to:

* Thesis research

* Creative work in the visual and performing arts

* Independent study

* Community service

* Study abroad

First held in 1995 for the four undergraduate campuses of the UMass system, the conference has grown to involve over 400 students from all 28 public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts.
