About HURN:
The Houston Undergraduate Research Network (HURN), the first student research organization at the University of Houston, is committed to fostering a dynamic learning community of students, faculty, and staff dedicated to the advancement of undergraduate research. HURN unites students and faculty from varying colleges and disciplines in efforts to share experiences and learn from each other, while at the same time, engages more students in pursuing undergraduate research endeavors.
Many students do not realize there is another side to the University of Houston beyond its academic domain. The University of Houston is not only a first-rate academic institution, but also a Carnegie-designated Tier One research institution, with the mission of providing a broad range of educational programs while engaging in a spectrum of research, scholarly, and artistic activities.
What can HURN do for me?
As a member of HURN, you will become part of a network of students and faculty involved in undergraduate research. By meeting and networking with individuals from your field and outside your field, you can learn more about research, scholarly activities, and career advancement. Throughout the academic year, professors from a wide range of departments on campus present at HURN meetings and recruit undergraduates to their labs. In addition, HURN hosts several meetings and social events throughout the year to provide students with the skills and guidance needed to get started in research. For more information, visit the HURN Facebook page.
Members receive points for their involvement in HURN.
