To assist in providing students with local, discipline-specific guidance about getting started in undergraduate research, the Office of Undergraduate Research holds an annual Investigating Research Month each fall. Patterned after the study abroad fair and the academic open houses, there will be tables populated by knowledgeable experts from many departments and programs who can answer questions concerning undergraduate research in that discipline.
