2017 Showcase for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

About the event

SURCA is the only university-wide public venue throughout the academic year where freshmen through seniors in all majors on every campus can share their mentored research, scholarship, and creative activities, which are collectively referred to as “research.” Monetary prizes are awarded to researchers—from novices through the experienced—who are judged to be the top presenters in each of eight categories. Presentations span science, humanities, social science, arts, and engineering topics.

Undergraduates are encouraged to apply to present as well as attend the event.  The public is welcome to attend, view posters, and visit with presenters.

SURCA is hosted by WSU Undergraduate Education and its Undergraduate Research program.  SURCA is part of the campus tradition called WSU Showcase, the university’s annual celebration of excellence. In 2017, SURCA kicks off a week of Showcase activities.
