The UCLA College has a long and proud history of encouraging students to participate in research, and of providing a rich array of opportunities, from the Student Research Program to Departmental Honors Thesis courses. Students from a variety of arts, humanities, social science and behavioral science disciplines will present their work at the 11th annual Westwind/Aleph Conference for Undergraduate Research and Writing.
