Faculty, Staff, Grad Students
UT Faculty, Staff, Post-Docs, and Graduate Student Researchers:
Thank you for your interest in the Tech & Science Undergraduate Research Forum! You can show your support for our hard-working undergraduate researchers in one, two or all three of these ways:
Save the Date: Add the event to your calendar and carve out time to see what our undergraduate researchers are up to - Friday April 17th, 2026 from 12:00-4:30pm on the Welch Grand Concourse.
Tell your undergraduate students: Encourage students you work with to learn about the forum and plan to participate. A wide variety of support is available to help students prepare to communicate their work. Student research projects do not need to be complete at the time of registration. We encourage students to share their works in progress!
Be a forum judge or a member of the awards committee: Each year, we ask faculty, post-doc and graduate student researchers, staff, and industry and alumni partners to evaluate students’ posters. In addition, we are looking for members of the award committee to help decide the winners of over $14K in student awards. Awards Committee Members work with colleagues to select the top poster(s) in their discipline, with students competing for $500 awards in each category. Committee members are ideally able to attend portions of all three sessions in person and will receive a Texas Science T-shirt, along with lunch and snacks. Judge Registration is open!
