International Research Opportunities Program (IROP) and Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Abroad
Early in each academic year, the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research marks the academic homecoming of international research students with the INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM, brief illustrated research presentations crafted for a general audience of faculty, students, administrators, supporters, families, and invited guests. The 2019 Symposium (featuring the work of IROP and SURF Abroad grant recipients) will be held over Homecoming weekend on Friday, October 4, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in MUB theaters 1 & 2.
