Welcome to GSURC 2026!
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Creativity (CURCI, pronounced serr-see) is pleased to welcome all presenters, mentors, judges, and supporters to GSURC this year. We are honored to continue the legacy of this outstanding event, which the Honors College launched exactly 20 years ago.
CURCI is a new strategic plan initiative that brings together Georgia State’s EPIC and CASA programs, maintains support for student travel and mentoring awards, and seeks to expand high-impact opportunities for undergraduates. Examples include GSURC each spring, the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium every August, and year-round student publications through our planned Inkquiry Press.
Our community’s enthusiasm is already evident: GSURC 2026 features more than 400 presenters and performers an increase of 53% from last year and we are excited to see this momentum grow as we build an even stronger culture of discovery and creativity.
Congratulations to all and enjoy the day!
Please join us in thanking our GSURC Faculty Associate, Dr. Amy Reber of the Biology Department, for her exceptional leadership in coordinating this year’s conference.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Kyle J. Frantz Senior Director, CURCI
