    Over 350 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor’s on-going projects.  They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated with other programs.<p>Students who have received <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/ura/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Undergraduate Research Awards</a> (URA) for the previous year will be presenting their findings. The <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/umbc-review/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Review</a>, UMBC’s annual peer-reviewed research journal, which features academic papers written by UMBC undergraduates, makes its debut at this event- stop by and get your copy! Come hear the alumni <a href="http://urcad.umbc.edu/speaker/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">keynote speaker </a>talk about their experiences after UMBC, and how being an undergraduate researcher benefited them.</p><p>UMBC is unique in providing this opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct and present their research in a professional and supportive setting.  Students get valuable feedback from their peers, faculty, and staff, and practice their public speaking and presentations skills.  This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC’s commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.</p><h6>Don’t forget to visit our red carpet photo booth and participate in our <a href="http://urcad.umbc.edu/selfie-contest/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">selfie contest</a>!</h6><h6>NOTE: The lovely ladies pictured will also be there!</h6></div>
