A primary goal of the Office of Undergraduate Research is to share information about how the University of Utah is supporting undergraduate researchers and their success. At the University of Utah we believe OUR success is truly a collective endeavor of cross campus partnerships, state-wide partnerships, and an investment in our undergraduates at all levels from faculty to the highest level of the University.
