CUR Member Exclusive Benefit - CUR Conversations are a gathering of CUR members for knowledge exchange and sharing of best practices around a focused topic or specific theme.

What kind of undergraduate research stories is your institution/local newspaper looking for? What have you found to be successful ways to get publicity around your program and/or research?

Bring your questions and best practices relating to undergraduate research and the press to this member-only CUR Conversation facilitated by Jocelyn Anderson of the University of California - Davis (who just launched a new interactive web experience entitled The Student Researcher).

This is a national celebration in which CUR showcases what other campuses are doing to celebrate undergraduate research, congratulate students, and thank those faculty and mentors who have helped guide the way.​

This webinar is hosted by the Mathematical, Statistical, and Computing Sciences Division of CUR but is open to the entire undergraduate research community.
In this talk, Dominic Klyve will share some of his experiences with student research, with a focus on what the students bring to the work.
Dominic Klyve is a Professor of Mathematics at Central Washington University and a 2022 MCS Faculty Mentor awardee.

Do you have an idea for a communication or full paper, and would you like to explore its fit with SPUR? Or perhaps you have an idea for a proposal for a themed issue that you would like to champion? Maybe you would like to offer feedback on your experiences as a reader, author, or reviewer for SPUR? Whatever your questions, comments, ideas, or concerns, we would love to hear from you. Join us for virtual office hours with Patricia A. Mabrouk, SPUR’s Editor-in-Chief at 1 - 2 PM ET on Monday, September 30, 2024.

Join members from the CUR Nominations and Leadership Development Committee (NLDC) as they open up conversations on the organizational structure, how you, as a CUR member, can take the next step in becoming an elected leader, and the importance of giving back to your undergraduate research community. CUR’s nominations cycle for various elected leadership roles opens on October 15. What better way to get information on how the process works, why it’s important to stay connected, and insights into nominating yourself from the committee charged with identifying and recruiting candidates? Get excited about this upcoming election cycle and stay informed about the volunteer leadership within CUR.

Feeling disconnected? The DEI Committee invites all CUR members to build community together. In this informal virtual meeting, participants will learn about ways to stay connected with CUR throughout the year, and members of the DEI Committee will host smaller “connection rooms” to meet colleagues and explore collaborative opportunities.
