Give to the Office for Undergraduate Research
At the Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR), we believe that students who engage in undergraduate research are better prepared to address future unsolved problems and to assume important roles as enlightened citizens and leaders.
This belief inspires the OUR’s vision, which is a university where all undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in research.
A key aspect of fulfilling this vision rests in removing financial, social, and/or cultural barriers, so research can become a central feature of the undergraduate experience for all students at UNC-Chapel Hill.
So much of what we do depends on the generous support of our alumni and friends. Your donation directly helps us provide opportunities for undergraduates, creating the next generation of researchers who will change our future.
