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 session were sent to your Notre Dame e-mail on Thursday, Oct. 8 with the subject line, "Why should you do undergraduate research?" 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:
Flatley 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
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 were sent to your Notre Dame email address on Thursday, Oct. 8, for all the students' meetings. The email subject line was "Why should you do Undergraduate Research?"
