Undergraduate Research

The Honors Academy serves as the campus hub for many aspects of undegraduate research and creative scholarship. We assist both honors and non-honors students (and their faculty mentors). In this role, the Honors Academy:

  • Processes travel requests for students presenting at professional conferences
  • Prints professional-quality posters for conference presentations
  • Coordinates Radford University's annual Undergraduate/Graduate Engagement Forum, which is a showcase for student-faculty scholarly collaborations

If you are an undergraduate who is conducting research or creative scholarship, discuss with your faculty mentor whether the work would be appropriate for presentation at one of the following undergraduate conferences or a professional conference in your discipline. If you are interested in a national or regional conference, be sure to read carefully the Travel Guidelines before submitting an abstract.
