The annual Undergraduate Research Exposition is a college-wide event held in April of each year in which University of Rochester students at all levels and in all areas of study are invited to present their investigative and creative work. The Expo reflects the passion for learning that enlivens the University, professors, and students alike, and that finds expression in varied forms, in every area of study.

To assist in providing students with local, discipline-specific guidance about getting started in undergraduate research, the Office of Undergraduate Research holds an annual undergraduate research fair each fall. Patterned after the study abroad fair and the academic open houses, there will be tables populated by knowledgeable experts from many departments and programs who can answer questions concerning undergraduate research in that discipline.
