The Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium (GCURS) is hosted annually by top-ranked Rice University. GCURS provides current undergraduates the opportunity to present their original research discoveries to scholars from around the world. Not only does GCURS foster interdisciplinary, intercollegiate camaraderie, it offers an introduction to Houston, the fourth-largest and most diverse city in the nation.
Applications are now open; students can apply through September 1.
Samantha Yruegas will join Rice’s Department of Chemistry on July 1, after she first visited Rice to speak at GCURS about a decade ago.
Rice welcomed scholars from 19 countries and 33 states
“Art and science both have to do with design and with problem-solving.”
