How to Get Involved in Undergraduate Research
The Enhancing Undergraduate Research Endeavors and Creative Activities (EURECA) program was established in 2013 to provide funding, support, and programming for students to engage in high-quality research and creative activities in an interdisciplinary environment. During the academic year, student scholars find and work with faculty mentors on research projects and creative activities aligned with their interests. Students and mentors have access to research funding to support their projects and presentations. The cornerstone of EURECA is the development of strong mentoring and collaborative partnerships between students and faculty. Graduate students may also be mentors.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities and Summer Workshop (UGROW) is MSU’s faculty-led, student-executed intensive summer research program. As in years past, UGROW will provide a venue in which faculty mentor full-time engagement from one or possibly two students, facilitating student exposure to research techniques, as well as opportunities for presentation and interaction.

Model United Nations (Model UN) is a simulation of the United Nations in which students role play the diplomats and ambassadors to the United Nations from a particular country. Each student team represents an assigned country and represents that country’s interests in committee meetings on topics such as non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, climate change, global development, refugee policy, or global health.
