More than 1,300 attendees participated in the 25th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research on April 29, 2024, making this the largest Celebration of Undergraduate Research on record!

The event featured more than 450 poster presentations prepared by over 600 undergraduate researchers, and it took place over three subsequent poster sessions from 2:30-5:30pm in Alumni Hall at the Carolina Club. Presentations represented the diverse range of undergraduate research disciplines across campus, with presentations exploring research in departments within the fine arts and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences as well as research sponsored by research centers across UNC-CH’s campus.

All students who presented also uploaded their abstracts and posters to our website, so you can visit this page to browse student submissions.
