Activities

Research Week and the Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement (EURēCA)

Each spring, Research Week puts the spotlight on undergraduate researchers, scholars, artists and performers with a concert, an honors symposium, an art competition and a student paper competition. The week culminates with the Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement (EURēCA), a showcase of research and creative activities by currently enrolled undergraduates in collaboration with a UT Knoxville faculty mentor. This annual competition encourages, supports and rewards undergraduate participation in the campus research enterprise by awarding monetary prizes for exemplary projects and performances.

Posters at the Capitol

Undergraduate researchers from across the state of Tennessee convene at the State Capitol every February to share their projects with state legislators. Each year, some of the best students from UT Knoxville are chosen to represent the university in Nashville and display their posters in the Legislative Plaza. Take a look at the most recent Posters at the Capitol.
