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.
