The SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC) brings together undergraduate student researchers and faculty mentors from across the SUNY system for a full day of multidisciplinary activities, including sessions devoted to student presentations (oral, performance, artistic displays, and poster), luncheon with keynote speaker(s), a SUNY Transfer, Graduate School and Career Fair, and professional development workshops for students and for faculty.
Why SURC?
Original research and creative activity are widely recognized as high-impact educational experiences that positively affect undergraduate students’ completion rates, career prospects and readiness for graduate study. Most SUNY campuses encourage such research and creative activity throughout the curriculum, through independent study and capstone experiences and/or via internship placements, and invest in opportunities for students to present their work. This allows students to engage critical audiences in their learning processes and hone the professional communication skills necessary for higher-order scholarship and career success. Frequently those institutions do so by sending their students to professional conferences and events. While such participation allows students to develop further confidence and academic skills and to network beyond their campus by presenting their work to students and faculty who specialize in their research fields, this opportunity often comes at a steep cost of sending students to distant conferences.
SURC provides similar networking and academic enrichment opportunities for students throughout the SUNY system at lower costs and more convenient locales.
By bringing together many hundreds of students and faculty from across the state to participate in SURC, we will help realize the synergistic power of the SUNY system. Students will benefit from networking and academic enrichment opportunities and learn about transfer and graduate programs available across SUNY. Faculty will benefit from networking workshops on integrating student research into their pedagogy or building research and grant collaborations.
SURC is supported by the Offices of the Chancellor and Provost, and the Research Foundation, as well as SUNY student and faculty governance organizations and, of course, the local host site.
All undergraduate students engaged in research/creative activity and their mentors across SUNY are invited to attend!
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2023 will take place on April 13-15, 2023, at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire. Students across all academic disciplines are welcomed and encouraged to submit an abstract before November 30, 2022.
What is new this year?
Students can select their willingness to participate in an additional pre-event competition, WiSys Quick Pitch. This limited-availability event takes place on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 12, 2023, where students will present a 3-minute oral summary of their research project and explain why their research matters. In addition to receiving cash prizes, the winners will help open the keynote speakers on Friday, April 14.
The Mayo Clinic Health System and Medical College of Wisconsin SDoH Challenge will be hosted on the morning of April 12, 2023, for students to address social determinants of health in order to improve health and health outcomes within the Mayo Clinic. In addition to having access to Mayo Clinic mentors and training, participants will have the opportunity for networking and discussion at the end of the challenge luncheon, where the winning team will be announced and awarded.
FAN sessions are back! Faculty-Administrator Network (FAN) sessions are professional development presentations focused on models and strategies for establishing, enriching, and advancing high-quality undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry.
Futures Fair is face-to-face. In addition to hosting a Graduate and Professional Fair, we will also host a Two-Year Transfer Fair to help students discover their next steps. Before visiting the Futures Fair, students can stop by the Fair Prep Zone to spruce up their resume, get a professional headshot, and sign up for a LinkedIn account.
Check out Collaborative Opportunities in the Arts: Students can submit an abstract to participate in artistic activities taking place during NCUR including the NCUR Murals Project, a Jazz Improvisation Expo, performance of original music composition, and dramatic readings of original scripts
Fun entertainment opportunities include a bike tour around town, a morning Fun Run, Mayo Clinic Beyond the Red Line Excursion, Hmong Heritage Celebration, Kubb Demonstration, Library After Dark Party, and a Friday night music and culture fest in downtown Eau Claire.
