Fall Undergraduate Research Fair (FURF)
This year, the Fall Undergraduate Research Fair is a little different.
Because of Covid19, we will hold the 2020 Fall Undergraduate Research Fair virtually. Here's the schedule for Thursday, Oct. 8, which will be held on Zoom. All students will receive links to attend via their Notre Dame email address. There's no need to register to attend, but you will need to apply if you would like to present your research.
6:30 - 7:15 p.m.: Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Chemistry
7:00 - 8:00 p.m.: Concurrent information sessions with organizations offering undergraduate research opportunities, as well as student research presentations and live Q&A
7:45 - 8:30 p.m. Undergraduate research internship information
Details about each session
All Zoom links for the following will be sent to your Notre Dame e-mail box a week in advance, and the day of -- so all you have to do is open your email and hop onto a session!
6:30 - 7:15 p.m.: Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Chemistry
Steven M. Wietstock, teaching professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, will talk about research opportunities available to undergraduate students.
7:00 - 8:00 p.m.: Concurrent information sessions with organizations offering undergraduate research opportunities
The following organizations will have Zoom sessions so you can meet with their representatives:
Flatly Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement (CUSE)
Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP)
University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center (UNDERC)
Nanovic Institute for European Studies
Kellogg Institute for International Studies
Meruelo Family Center for Career Development
Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative
Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend
Also at 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.: Student research presentations with live Q& A
Three-minute videos by students will be added October 7. After watching them, you'll click on each students name to meet with the student through Zoom and ask about their insights on completing undergraduate research. Zoom meeting links will be sent to your email address for all the students' meetings, below:
