UURAF provides MSU undergraduate students with an opportunity to showcase their scholarship and creative activity. Held each spring, UURAF brings together an intellectual community of highly motivated students to share their work with faculty, staff, peers, and external audiences. The event provides a unique educational opportunity for aspiring researchers. Student participants gain experience in presenting their research, answering questions about their work from audience members and guests, and receiving constructive feedback from judges.
