Undergrad
A decade of support for undergrad research
The Ring
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Awards (JCURA) have supported 1,013 undergraduates in every discipline on research topics ranging from mindful meditation’s effect on stress, attention and exam performance to the biological impacts of a transition to solar energy. The annual JCURA spotlight is now a centrepiece of Ideafest as well.
