The St.\u00a0Olaf Collaborative Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (CURI) program provides opportunities for St.\u00a0Olaf students\u00a0from<\/strong> all academic disciplines<\/strong>\u00a0to gain an in-depth understanding of a particular subject through working closely with a St.\u00a0Olaf faculty member in a research framework.
\nWe aim to promote and facilitate undergraduate research in all its forms by supporting students and faculty with various research opportunities during both the summer and the academic year, and by providing funding for students to present the results of their research at conferences or in other appropriate venues.<\/p>\n
