The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry is pleased to award graduating students with cords recognizing significant accomplishments in research and inquiry. In order to be eligible for a graduation cord, students must meet both of the following criteria:
- Successful completion of at least one OURI research grant (SURF and/or URI); and
- Presentation of research at a peer-reviewed, disciplinary conference/exhibition OR publication in a peer-reviewed, disciplinary publication.
Please complete the application at least 2 weeks prior to graduation to ensure cords will be ready in time for graduation.
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI) is pleased to accept proposals from departments and faculty to develop or redesign courses to focus on inquiry-based experiential education. These courses will ensure “students will be introduced to the tools and technologies of their disciplines” through “enhanced discipline-based courses” (Learning By Doing: Inquiry-Based Experiential Education, p. 17).
