National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)

10/08/15

The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is the largest celebration of student scholarship in the world. Thousands of student scholars from across the United States and from many foreign countries will meet April 7-9, 2016 in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Ithaca College will support approximately 40 students to present at NCUR. The College will organize transportation, hotel accommodations, and registration for the conference. Students presenting at NCUR will be expected to pay only for personal purchases.

Who can apply? Any undergraduate student in any program can apply to present their work and virtually every discipline is represented at NCUR. You can also present work that was created in an interdisciplinary posture. Please note, however, that we can typically only support one person for work that was prepared by multiple authors or a team. Creative activity, such as musical or theatrical performance, or other work in the fine arts, is also welcome. Contact us (info below) about special formats and considerations for creative presentations.

To receive support from Ithaca College, you must be enrolled at the College, have a 3.0 or higher GPA, and have a good judicial record. The College can not provide support for presentation at NCUR if you have received significant support for other conference presentations in AY2015/16.

How do you apply? Students apply for NCUR by submitting an abstract that describes their work through the NCUR website

http://www.cur.org/ncur_2016/.

Your faculty mentor can help you compose the abstract. Completed papers are not submitted for review. At the time the abstract is submitted you must supply the name of a faculty member who mentored the submitted work, indicate the name of the discipline that best represents your work, and say whether you wish to present at a poster session or on an oral presentation panel. The deadline for submitting abstracts is December 2, 2015.

If you think you’d like to present at NCUR you should initiate a conversation with your faculty mentor as soon as you can. There will be special information sessions scheduled for early November to help guide you through the application process.

Questions? If you have any questions, please contact either Robert Sullivan in the Department of Communication Studies (rsulliva@ithaca.edu) or MaryAnn Taylor, Coordinator of Sponsored Research (mataylor@ithaca.edu).
