UNH held its annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) last week, showcasing the research and scholarly work of more than 1,700 students representing all schools and colleges and an extensive number of majors.

The URC, annually one of the largest and most diverse events of its kind in the country, celebrated its 26th year this spring with more than 20 events held on the Durham and Manchester campuses, including symposia, panel and poster sessions, performances and prize competitions.

The URC shined a spotlight on students working in a considerable range of disciplines, and students presenting at this year’s URC were mentored by more than 300 faculty members and other research advisors throughout the university.

Our slideshow offers a glimpse at just a handful of the many engaging presentations and displays that made for yet another successful event this year.
