MCUR, an initiative from the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies, serves as a resource for both students and faculty members.

Students can use MCUR to find on- and off-campus opportunities that best match their skills.

Faculty members can share different models or ways in which they incorporate undergraduate students into their research programs or how research is infused into the curriculum.

The Center also partners with other offices on campus to supplement services for students engaged in research, such as writing workshops, preparation for graduate school, and other topics.
