Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR)
The Council on Undergraduate Research is now hosting a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers. The purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research.
CAHSI's work to accelerate Latino student success in higher education at the University of Texas at El Paso was recognized by the Excelencia in Education organization. After careful review of overall nominees, CAHSI was selected as a Finalist for the Examples of Excelencia at the Baccalaureate level.
This year's meeting was a great success and we'd like to thank all the attendees and lecturers for their participation. The annual meeting proceedings will be posted soon. Meanwhile, please view some of the following information related to the annual meeting: Photos Workshops Student Posters
