Chemistry Undergraduate Research Board (CURB)

The Chemistry Undergraduate Research Board (CURB) is a student board dedicated to improving, cultivating, and expanding research opportunities for undergraduates in the Department of Chemistry.

CURB works closely with the Undergraduate Research Director to identify areas of improvement and to generate solutions toward increasing student involvement in research, fostering a strong community of student researchers in our department, and promoting the achievements of undergraduate researchers.

Here are some things that CURB has done in the past few years:

• Hosted Undergraduate Supergroup Meetings and the Undergraduate Chemistry Poster Symposium
• Advocated for and implemented safe practices for undergraduate research during the pandemic
• Hosted community building events like Chemistry Trivia/Game Nights and study events like Cocoa and Cram
• Led research-based events such as info session on preparing applications for summer research opportunities, research lab tours, and poster session practices
