For everyone that didn't attend our first IRF, it is a one-day conference with the intent of exposing undergraduate students to a wide variety of research opportunities at the University of Calgary, with a special focus on encouraging communication and collaboration across different fields such as those in the arts and sciences. This will be a great chance to network with professors and your peers from several disciplines and learn more about the different types of research work being done on campus. Be sure not to miss out on this fantastic opportunity!

This event is jointly hosted by the University of Calgary Society of Young Researchers (UCSYR) and now the Students of the Arts and Science Honours Academy (SASHA).
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us!

See you all there!
