CounCil on undergraduate researCh

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is an affiliation of academic institutions serving undergraduate students, their faculty and others committed to providing robust research opportunities in all disciplines for undergraduates throughout their career as learners. Started in 1978 by ten chemists from predominantly undergraduate institutions, CUR was among the earliest STEM reform communities in our nation. It was sparked by informal discussions among like-minded faculty about what promoted student interest and success in science and mathematics: mentoring, learning by doing, becoming socialized into a community of practice. Undergraduate research is an exemplar of today’s active-learning movement.
