Celebrate Undergraduate Research & Creativity Showcase
CURC 2026 Showcase will be held on April 21, 2026 in the Lory Student Center
All projects, regardless of stage, are welcome. Whether it’s an idea, a work in progress, or a completed project, submissions are encouraged.
"I checked the CURC website to see if my research idea fit into a category—it didn’t. Later, someone told me, ‘All students are encouraged to submit, even if their idea doesn’t fit a category.’ I ended up submitting, and the event was great."
