Office of Student Research

OSR helps students to develop their research interests, funds research projects by providing financial support for materials and travel and teaches students how to present their research effectively.

Research Programs

The Office of Student Research offers the Collegiate Undergraduate Research and Inquiry Opportunities (CURIO) program, where a student receives a stipend to work on his/her own research project with a faculty mentor and submits a manuscript to an undergraduate, graduate or professional scholarly journal for publication.

Students may undertake research just for the spring or also opt to participate in the summer writing retreat.

Publishing Opportunities

Our office publishes The Omnipedia Review, a peer-reviewed review journal. The online journal publishes review essays (comparative book reviews) and reviews articles (stand-alone literature reviews).
