The awards ceremony recognizes the Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Research and Mentoring Undergraduate Research, the Dean Keith Simonton Prize for Creativity in Undergraduate Research and the Hansen Family Undergraduate Research Publication Award.
A record number of undergraduate students are slated to present at the 35th Annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference April 26 and 27. According to the UC Davis Undergraduate Research Center, which hosts the event, the 2024 conference includes 884 student presenters – more than any previous year.
Early Saturday morning, the campus is relatively quiet. Across from the Manetti Shrem Museum, however, students gather inside the UC Davis Conference Center. As they check-in, find their name tags, grab breakfast and mingle, featured morning speaker Christina L. Jackson prepares to give her keynote address.
