About LASURI
The UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research Initiative (LASURI) is a college-wide program that supports faculty-student research in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Its mission is to make undergraduate research integral to teaching, learning, and scholarship in LAS by providing support to undergraduates and faculty involved in research collaborations. The competition is held once a year in the spring. It is limited to students and faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Question and Answer Sessions
Two question and answer sessions will be held in February to explain the LASURI process, discuss the components of a strong application and answer student questions. A short presentation will be followed by open period for student questions. Students can come any time during the session. Both workshops will be held in UH 301.
Workshop dates:
Wednesday, February 8, from 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Thursday, February 16, from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
