Research opportunities are open to students in any discipline (e.g., STEM, humanities, arts, and social sciences) willing to make an original, intellectual, or creative contribution to their field.

Undergraduate Research Workshop Schedule 2020-2021

Fall Semester

The WVU Humanities Center and WVU Libraries are inviting all undergraduate students to be part of Campus Read’s story this academic year by submitting their creative projects or scholarly works to be considered for public display in the inaugural Journal of the Campus Read.

Faculty and instructors may encourage their students to apply during the fall semester by submitting their class assignments, theses, capstones or independently conducted scholarship pieces, as long as they engage in humanistic inquiry and address issues or themes raised in “The Girl Who Smiled Beads,” the 2020-2021 Campus Read. 

UReCA: The NCHC Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity is a multidisciplinary Web journal sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). Our mission is to curate relevant, progressive and academic content that appeals to undergraduate students in the United States and abroad. We are seeking works from undergraduate students who are engaged in relevant and intriguing research.
