Dr. Annie Fukushima, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research, who gave the opening remarks at the awards ceremony. “Undergraduate research is a public good. What our students do to foster research in their collaborations – whether it’s a research team of one or many – is that they are furthering knowledge and supporting the university’s mission as well as having impact on society, changing people’s lives.”
Undergraduate research at the University of Utah shined bright and was celebrated, as the future leaders and innovators of tomorrow and their mentors were honored at the Office of Undergraduate Research Awards, held on April 1 in the Union Building Ballroom.
Each year, the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) recognizes U students and mentors with several awards, including the Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award, the Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award, and presents certificates to scholarship recipients.
