What is MURALS?
Multicultural Undergraduate Research Art and Leadership Symposium (MURALS) is an undergraduate research symposium that intentionally reaches out to students of color in various disciplines to expose them to a variety of research opportunities. Mentoring, presenting scholarly work, networking, and learning about multicultural leadership are four main aspects of the program.
On March 25th, students will present their scholarly work (creative writing, visual and performing arts, Entrepreneurship, S.T.E.M., social sciences, humanities) while graduate students and faculty provide feedback and faculty serve as mentors. Throughout MURALS, students will have the opportunity to showcase their scholarly work and represent themselves, their departments and colleges to faculty, staff, peers, alumni and administration. At the end of the day, awards and accolades will be presented to students in an awards ceremony.
What are the goals for MURALS participants?
- Increase their interaction and collaboration with students from diverse populations
- Communicate confidently and constructively about their research/scholarly work with their peers, faculty and staff
- Independently synthesize and extrapolate information pertaining to their own research/scholarly work, including lessons learned, strengths, and ways to improve
- Articulate significance of independent research interests as it pertains to their field, community, nation and/or world.
- Increase professional interaction through interpersonal skills with peers, faculty and staff
- Understand the fundamental characteristics needed to become a successful multicultural leader
