Council on Undergraduate Research

---

The Council on Undergraduate Research supports and promotes “high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship.”  This aligns with Maryville’s commitment to provide students opportunities to engage in and present high-quality research.  In 2014, four Maryville students were selected to present their work at the highly competitive National Conference on Undergraduate Research.  We congratulate these outstanding students and their research.
