The Office of Undergraduate Research at North Carolina State University connects students with the resources they need to conduct meaningful research with faculty during their undergraduate career. Materials in the collection include publications, summaries of symposia, and annual reports. Materials range in date from 1992 to 2023.
The Office of Undergraduate Research at North Carolina State University provides students with opportunities to collaborate with faculty on research. OUR helps to connect students with funding for these opportunities and plans events like symposia where research is shared out to the broader public. It also publishes a research journal, the Undergraduate Research Journal, which promotes and publicizes undergraduate research.
Although undergraduate research previously existed at NC State, it was organized into the Office of Undergraduate Research in 2003 by Dr. James Anderson and Dr. Jo Allen. Dr. George Barthalmus served as the first director. The OUR was originally housed in Park Shops but moved to D.H. Hill Jr. Library in 2020 (https://undergradresearch.dasa.ncsu.edu/home/about-us/fast-facts/, accessed 3/11/2024).
