2013-14 Undergrad Research Scholars (apply by 9/20)

Honors and Undergraduate Research announces a call for proposals for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program for the 2013-14 academic year.  The goals of the Undergraduate Research Scholars program are:

• to give students the opportunity to communicate their findings as principal authors to the university's scholarly community
