Every spring, UMBC undergraduates have the opportunity to present their research, scholarship, and work at Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD). URCAD is an annual celebration of UMBC undergraduates' research and creativity that first began in 1997. Projects over the years have spanned from artistic exhibits and dance performances to academic presentations. This April 27 marks the twentieth annual URCAD.
