Giving to the Office of Undergraduate Research
Your generosity provides momentum in turning challenges into incredible opportunities
to transform the future of WVU students who seek to engage in undergraduate research
or creative endeavors. Private giving provides unique opportunities to enhance
the undergraduate experience for all WVU students.
The Office of Undergraduate Research (UGR) connects undergraduate students who
have strong, committed interests in research or creative endeavors to faculty
members, programs, and related opportunities that are aligned with their interests
and career goals. We work to institutionalize undergraduate research and creative
endeavors as a key component of the educational experience.
