The Annual Research Conference is open to all disciplines and campuses, as well as, undergraduate and graduate students. Have an art piece you would like to present? Been working on a research project? How about a musical performance? All are welcome!
Submissions have closed for the 29th Annual Research Conference for this year; however, we encourage students, faculty/staff, and the general public to attend the upcoming event on March 29, 2024. UNG undergraduate and graduate students will be able to apply to the 30th Annual Research Conference in early 2025.
This year, awards will be given on the basis of a student’s completed essay/poster file. Students who would like to be considered in the awards section of the conference should upload their complete essay or poster file as a discussion to their submission by March 4, 2024. Please access your submission and add the attachment as a discussion. Title the discussion “Best Presentation Award for ARC”, include text in the message, and upload the attachment as a manuscript. Any questions, please email CURCA@ung.edu.
CURCA will hold two workshops via the Zoom Meeting software (room: go.ung.edu/curcazoomroom ) to help students prepare for the conference.
In 1993, North Georgia College held an event called the "Honors Day Academic Olympics". In 1996, North Georgia College was renamed North Georgia College and State University, and the honors program underwent several minor adjustments. To expand the event to include all disciplines, all campuses, and all university students (undergraduate or graduate), the event was renamed to "Annual Research Conference" from then onward.
