The OSR wants to make all undergraduate students aware of the upcoming deadline to submit oral or poster presentations for The Chicago Area Undergraduate Research Symposium (CAURS). This is one of the largest annual undergraduate research conferences in the country, which brings together  undergraduate students in the Chicagoland area from all academic disciplines to present their research. The symposium will be virtual and the deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, February 26th.

Even if you are not interested in presenting, we encourage students to register to attend this event, as this is a great opportunity to view and experience the impressive breadth and depth of research being conducted by their peers in various disciplines.  Attendees also have the opportunity to network with other undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and representatives from industry and graduate and professional schools.

CAURS is also looking for graduate students and faculty to serve as judges for the event. Registration closes on February 26th, and details can be found at https://www.caurs.com/closed-registration.
