Scholars Week
URSA Scholars WEEK 2025: March 31-April 4
URSA Scholars week is a time to celebrate the creativity and discoveries resulting from undergraduate research.
Held annually each spring around the 1st week in April, students from all disciplines present posters or platform presentations or display their artistic creations. These presentations testify to our belief that research engagement promotes critical thought and hones analytical skills. By presenting their work and participating in discussions, students develop a greater depth of understanding. This helps them prepare for advanced study, community and industry leaders, and our next generation of scholars and scientists.
We are grateful to the Baylor faculty, which supports and encourages research experiences for their students and lends their time and resources to the next generation. During this time, we also recognize faculty who are excellent mentors and leaders in the area of providing undergraduate research opportunities with the Elizabeth Vardaman Excellence in Mentoring Undergraduates and Excellence in Research Leadership Awards, each of which includes a $1,000 cash prize and trophy.
All student researchers are welcome!
Students- please make plans to present your research and support your peers by attending the presentations and the art events and learning about a field you know little or nothing about!
