Undergraduate Research Events &
Publications
The URC sponsors events and publications
to help you to share your research and creative activities.
The Annual Westwind/Aleph Conference is
held each May and features interdisciplinary panels and
presentations by undergraduate researchers as well as readings
by student poets and fiction writers.
Aleph journal features undergraduate
research in the humanities, social sciences, and behavioral
sciences.
Westwind journal is UCLA’s literary
magazine, featuring fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction
from the UCLA community.
SCCUR’s cornerstone program is a
one-day conference held each November on the campus of a
college or university in the greater Los Angeles area.
Its purpose is to provide a forum for the presentation
and discussion of the best research, scholarship, and creative
work of undergraduates in the region, and thus to encourage
excellence in undergraduate achievement.
The idea for a national conference open to
all undergraduates was conceived and first implemented at the
University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNCA) in 1987. The
first conference drew more than 400 participants from schools
across the country. Now in existence for over twenty years, the
conference regularly hosts 2,000 students and their faculty
mentors to present their research through posters, oral
presentations, visual arts and performances.
• Other Opportunities
Many UCLA undergraduates also present
their work at other regional, national, and international
meetings. Travel Grants are available to support conference
registration and travel for students who have authored or
co-authored an abstract, paper, or poster that has been
accepted for presentation.
