Engaging undergraduates in research and professional activities helps motivate students to consider graduate education. Undergraduate Research also provides students a head start in applying to graduate school and a head start as they begin their graduate education and professional careers.

The purpose of this webpage is to:

Provide a list of the various Undegraduate Research programs and activities in the School of Computer Science;
Give examples, resources and contacts for folks who might be interested in starting Undergraduate Research activities;
Facilitate the collaboration and coordination of efforts, e.g. to facilitate the organization of joint research and social events between Undergraduate
Research programs, particularly during the summer months;
Provide a resource for students seeking Undergraduate Research activities.
