The Office for the Vice President for Research also did a write-up of the OUR Awards. Check it out!

We are so proud of all 7 of this year's Undergraduate Research Leaders. Accomplishments abound among these exceptional students: this group includes a Beehive Honors Society inductee (Joshua), a U of U Presidential Intern (Gauri), the President of the U of U Philippine Student Union (Melika), an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship recipient (Sarthak), a student graduating Summa Cum Laude (Emi), the 2023 OUR Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award recipient from the College of Humanities (Eliana), and a College of Science Excellence in Undergraduate Leadership Award recipient (Ava)!

We wish our graduating seniors the best of luck in their post-graduate endeavors, and we look forward to continuing to work with our returning Undergraduate Research Leaders in the semesters to come. Visit our website to learn more about these incredible leaders and their achievements.
