Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research, San Bernardino
SCCUR 2024 gives an opportunity for undergraduate students to present their greatest research, scholarship, and creative endeavors.
The Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research (SCCUR) is an annual academic conference that allows undergraduate students from Southern California to present their research projects and conclusions. This conference gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their work, receive valuable presentation skills, and interact with classmates and faculty members from diverse universities.
SCCUR hosts a wide spectrum of lectures, including oral talks, poster sessions, and creative works, spanning academic subjects from the sciences to the humanities. It’s a wonderful way for undergraduate students to share their research, get comments, and connect with people who share their academic interests.
