THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

The Board of the National Conferences on Undergraduate Research consists of 24 individuals, whose backgrounds include a wide variety of academic fields and positions on the members’ respective campuses. The Board is always interested in recruiting new members to serve on the Board. Prospective board members should be actively involved in undergraduate research activities on their campuses and bring students to the NCUR Conference. Board membership is determined by election, and a board member can serve for two consecutive three-year terms. If you are interested in serving on the board, please contact the Chair.
