The University of North Georgia (UNG) had a record 65 current and former students attend the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) from April 11-13 at Kennesaw State University.
UNG sent 77 people to NCUR, which ranked UNG as the No. 7 school for participants at NCUR. Participants included students and faculty in anthropology and archaeology, biology, chemistry, computer science, education, history, music, physics, and psychology.
Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement, said the Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (CURCA) was excited to see such a large turnout.
"Our more than 40 research presentations from across the disciplines showcased the strength of UNG's undergraduate research programs," Lin said. "We are exceedingly proud of the hard work of the students and mentors who supported them."
