URC Information

The 23rd annual undergraduate research conference 

MCLA will hold the 23rd Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) on April 24, 2025.  

Part of the Undergraduate Research Program, the URC highlights MCLA's commitment to nurturing a dynamic culture of research: inquiry, exploration, and mentorship and we encourage you to explore the many ways MCLA students are making an impact in their disciplines and communities.

Presentation guidelines: Paper and creative writing presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes, including Q&A. Time limits on performances will be set once we know how many submissions we receive. Posters will be available during the poster session. Visual artwork will remain on display throughout the conference. Special session presentations will be of variable length depending on the number of papers in that session.

Abstracts are due by Friday, March 14th! Submit your abstract.
