The Eleventh Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research at UNC-Chapel Hill will take place on Friday, April 23, 2010 from 1:00 pm-3:00 pm at The Center for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road.  

The Celebration is an annual event that is sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research and co-sponsored by The Roosevelt Institution. The goal of the Celebration is to showcase and encourage meaningful research in all disciplines by undergraduates at the UNC-Chapel Hill.

Are you curious about opportunities to engage in original inquiry and research at Carolina? Not sure where to begin? Come to the Center for Dramatic Art lobby and look for students wearing "HOST" nametags. They will help you to identify projects that match your interests.

During the symposium, you will have the opportunity to meet and talk with potential faculty advisors and learn what students like you have accomplished.
