Aristotle once noted, "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." The application of newly gained knowledge plays an essential role at research-intensive universities, enhancing both learning and teaching. The Office for Undergraduate Research and Artistry facilitates undergraduate student access to opportunities in research, artistry, and other forms of creative work at and beyond Colorado State University. Committed to supporting programs that promote student awareness and involvement with such opportunities, this office serves as a resource for undergraduates interested in obtaining concrete experience in research and artistry.
The Office for Undergraduate Research and Artistry at Colorado State University is a dynamic, newly established office designed to complement existing programs that bring undergraduates and faculty/industry mentors together. Operating within the Institute for Learning and Teaching, our office maintains a close relationship with the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of the Provost. Our primary mission is to serve as an interface among students, faculty, and industry to ensure that all undergraduates at CSU have access to opportunities to explore their interests in research, artistry, and other forms of creative work within their respective disciplines. Students, faculty, and industry representatives are encouraged to use this office as an initial point of contact for such opportunities at CSU. Established in January 2009, our office is rapidly evolving so we encourage you visit this webpage frequently to learn of new programs and opportunities as we continue to grow. Please do not hesitate to call, write, or email us.
