Join us for Undergraduate Research Week, April 20-24, 2026!
Undergraduate Research Week is set by the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR, of which U of A is an Institutional Member). April 20-24 may be Undergraduate Research Week, but at the University of Arizona we celebrate Undergraduate Research Month!
Join us throughout April to celebrate the phenomenal advances in science, engineering, education, art, social sciences and the humanities being made by Arizona students! As a land-grant, R1 university, we are privileged with cultural depth from our local communities and innovative excellence from our research tradition. Join us for a vibrant lineup of showcases, conferences, open houses, seminars, and events spotlighting the creativity, curiosity, and innovative discoveries of our Arizona Wildcats.
