Without a doubt, UMCUR is one the major highlights of the year at UM. This year, we have over 120 students from all Schools and Colleges presenting their research and creative scholarship.

Research and creative scholarship experience leads to many practical benefits for our students, including stronger qualifications for graduate school and/or professional positions.
