The University of Toledo

Director's Statement

Welcome to OUR-UT!!  

This is more than just a catchy phrase -- it is a statement that undergraduate involvement in state-of-the-art research is (and has been, and will be) an integral part of The University of Toledo!  We are now located in the Honors College, but our programs are open to all undergraduate students at UT.

The Office of Undergraduate Research was created in order to be a central resource for undergraduate research at UT.

The primary objectives of this office are to:

• be a focal point for research opportunities for undergraduates. 

• be an advocate for increased funding of undergraduate research at UT. 

• showcase research accomplishments of our undergraduates. 

• be a resource for faculty members to increase undergraduate involvement in their research. 

• be a resource for the community and local industries to increase their involvement in undergraduate research. 

• aid in the integration of a research component to existing courses and/or development of new research-intensive courses. 

• coordinate undergraduate research involvement with the other offices at UT including: the Office of Research, the Honors Program, the Office of Service Learning, the various colleges, and the various departments and/or academic programs.

Please check back often, as new information will be posted as soon as we receive it.
