Recently, the Network for Undergraduate Research in Virginia (NURVa) was formed. This is a consortium of Virginia colleges and universities dedicated to supporting undergraduate research and creative activity throughout the state.

The first annual NURVa conference is an opportunity for undergraduates in all disciplines to present their research and creative work at a statewide conference.
 
The inaugural conference will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2020, at Hampden-Sydney College in Hampden-Sydney, VA. 
 
NURVa invites submissions from undergraduates in all disciplines in the categories of oral presentation, poster, or performance. Submit abstracts (750 words maximum) with one letter of support from a faculty mentor at link expired
 
The submission deadline is midnight, November 1, 2019.
Faculty mentors are encouraged to attend. Conference registration, which includes lunch, is $15. The registration site will be available soon.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for your students to highlight their research and inquiry projects at a statewide conference. There also will be a graduate school fair at the conference.
