Conducting research during the summer can be a transformative experience for undergraduate students as they put their skills to the test in labs, fields, library collections, art studios and on stage. With support from University of Kentucky colleges and centers, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR), new opportunities allow undergraduate students to pursue hands-on research projects this summer.
