September 29-30: International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR)

For the second year, Baruch undergraduates present original research via videoconferencing in this international conference, on panels alongside counterparts at the University of Warwick (U.K.) and Monash University branch campus in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The conference, organized by an alliance of the University of Warwick-U.K. and Monash University in Australia involves 12 colleges globally; Baruch is lucky to be one of four campuses in the U.S. that participate. We invite you to attend to see our own undergraduates present their original research, and to see British and South African students present their research, as well, in real time.

From the classroom in the BCTC computer center in Baruch’s Library Building, you will have the chance to ask questions of these student researchers around the globe and engage in dialogue about their work.  Students who are writing theses in particular might wish to attend so they can plan ahead to participate next year.  Morning coffee and lunch (on Tuesday) will be served.

Seating is limited, so if you and and any of your students plan to attend, please RSVP to Baruch’s ICUR faculty coordinator,  Prof. Katherine Pence: [email protected]
