    Approximately 400 students from across the state will flock to Westminster for the third annual Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research (UCUR). Students from 14 Utah colleges and universities will have the opportunity to share the results of their undergraduate research with peers and faculty members from across the state, as well as the community at large. The conference marks a fairly recent trend in research to introduce undergraduates to the research process and experience before they enter graduate school. UCUR is the only state-wide undergraduate research conference in the country. 'The continued success in undergraduate research programs is vital to the economic vitality of the state,' said Tim Dolan, Westminster's coordinator of National Fellowships and Undergraduate Research. 'These students go on to become our future scientists, inventors and business people in the state.' The presentation topics will range from automotive, to fine arts, to microbiology. There will be a lunchtime panel of graduate students discussing their undergraduate research experiences and offering advice about the graduate school admission process. While students from all over the state will be presenting, Dolan explains that the conference isn't a competition so much as it's an opportunity to work together to further the best interest of the students. He adds that the faculty development sessions are a unique feature that provides a forum for faculty to find opportunities to collaborate on undergraduate research projects.
