Each year, the Undergraduate Research and Collaborative Scholarship (URCS) Program seeks to recognize a UST faculty member who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to supporting undergraduate research and faculty/student scholarly collaboration.
UST faculty are nominated by their peers each spring, and nominees who agree to be considered for the award submit a statement indicating how they have contributed to undergraduate scholarship. References submit additional materials, and these documents -- together with the original letter of nomination -- are reviewed by the URCS Board, which then selects one person for special recognition.
Awardees receive an engraved plaque and a stipend (after taxes) of $1,000.
