Welcome to the URC Website

2020 URC Cancelled

Like you, we have been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic carefully. Given the multitude of campus closings, travel restrictions, and government-mandated event restrictions, the 2020 Butler University Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) has been cancelled.

This difficult decision was made out of concern for the health and well-being of URC participants. I thank all of our student presenters and faculty sponsors, and I know how disappointing this news must be. Although the conference has been cancelled, the program will be archived on our website. Thus, I encourage presenters to list your presentations on your CVs or resumes using a format similar to the following:

Last name, First name. Presentation Title. Abstract accepted for presentation at the 32nd annual Butler University Undergraduate Research Conference, Indianapolis, IN, April 2020. Note: This meeting was cancelled due to public health concerns related to COVID-19.

We thank you for your support of the URC, and wish you continued success in your research projects and creative endeavors.

Sincerely,

Dacia Charlesworth, Ph.D.
