Overview
MURALS would not be possible without help from our incredible volunteers! We are seeking volunteers to help with this years’ MURALS event in the form of graduate student judges, faculty judges and day-of volunteers. Graduate student judges will evaluate MURALS participants’ abstracts and oral presentations. Additionally, they will assist with selecting MURALS award winners.
MURALS is intentional in our undergraduate student outreach across various disciplines to expose them to a variety of undergraduate research opportunities, though any undergraduate student can participate in MURALS. Mentoring, presenting research, networking and learning about globally-minded leadership are four main aspects of the program and we can use YOUR assistance. MURALS is slated for April 2, 2027. Please mark the date of MURALS in your calendar! Your participation is needed from 8AM to 4PM. More information to follow.
