On November 16, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives declared a week in April as "Undergraduate Research Week." The Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR) designates one week in April each year as Undergraduate Research Week.
To celebrate, Case Western Reserve University organizes events to honor and recognize the phenomenal undergraduate research done by undergraduate students. Details about Undergraduate Research Week 2023 will be available next spring.
Check out how we celebrated Undergraduate Research Week 2022:
