Workshops and Information Sessions

In addition to the resources available online, OUR organizes a series of workshops and information sessions on topics related to undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity. Workshops and information sessions are held online and in person. On this page, you will find the schedule of workshops and information sessions for the current semester as well as handouts from the most recent iterations of these events.

Would you like someone from OUR to visit (virtually or in person) and talk with your class, organization or club? We can do that!
