• 2009 National Conference on Undergraduate Research

Ithaca College will send 25 students to the 2009 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in April at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse to present research they’ve completed throughout the academic year.

This annual conference, designed to promote undergraduate research across all disciplines, draws nearly 2,500 students and faculty from hundreds of colleges and universities across the nation.

Special Assistant to the Provost Marian Brown said that the conference is unique because students with research from different academic areas -- science, humanities, communications, and health -- present at a single conference.

Communication management and design major Janelle Mackereth ’09 says she is excited to present: “It will be a great opportunity to share my own findings and to see what other students across the country have been working on.”

In 2011, Ithaca College will have the honor of hosting NCUR. Brown says that she and her colleagues are delighted that Ithaca will have a chance to welcome this prestigious event and its participants.
