Annual Report 2013-14
National Conference on Undergraduate Research University of Ke nt ucky-Lexington Lexington, KY April 3-5, 2014 The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) promotes undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study. The annual conference, hosted by the Council on Undergraduate Research at a different university each year, gives undergraduate scholars in all fields and from all types of institutions of higher learning a forum to share the results of their work through posters, presentations, performances, and works of art. This year, we traveled to University of Kentucky-Lexington with 12 talented undergraduate students from across the University. Nine of these 12 students were former STAR Scholars, and two of these twelve were first-year students at Drexel.
