Faculty Research Showcase
Some professors do not know about OUR or the events we host. Send this to your professor or ask them if they are planning a table. You will impress them with your interest.
The Office for Undergraduate Research’s Faculty Research Showcase is an annual exposition of research conducted by faculty members and graduate students at the University of Alabama. The purpose of this event is to introduce undergraduates to research faculty and their research. We hope to introduce students to the diversity of research conducted at UA and allow students to network with research faculty members.
Faculty and graduate researchers will work a table at the event and answer questions about research opportunities in their field.
This in person event will be held at the Ferguson Center Ballroom 11:30am-1:00pm October 14, 2021.
Free Admission and food. Meet a mentor, join a research opportunity.
