We have revised the University’s Research Day/Big Night event in order to be more inclusive, to break down barriers between colleges, and to encourage students and faculty to engage in this non-competitive celebration of scholarship. The event is now called the UWG Undergraduate Research Conference to be held on Scholars’ Day in the spring. Click here for details.
