Build a community of undergraduate researchers at the Stevens Undergraduate Research Week. This week‑long celebration shines a spotlight on the curiosity, creativity, and scholarly contributions of Stevens undergraduates across disciplines. Through a blend of kickoff festivities, workshops, and mixers, you can explore research opportunities, connect with peers and mentors, and find inspiration for their own academic journeys. Whether you're new to research or already deeply engaged, this week offers a welcoming space to learn, share, and grow together.
Undergraduate Research Week at Stevens
Undergraduate Research Week is an annual celebration of student researchers that highlights mentored investigations and creative inquiries by undergraduates, who contribute to scholarly knowledge. The purpose of this event is to celebrate in solidarity with the national undergraduate research week. At other universities, this event is typically centered around a research symposium, but since we hold our Stevens Symposium in the fall, we have a more celebratory week of events with a Kickoff Event, as well as a few research-related workshops and mixers throughout the week. The goal for this event at Stevens is to build community between undergraduate students looking to get into research, students already deeply involved in research, and recent Stevens alumni who are pursuing graduate research.
At Stevens, this event is a full week of activities that start on Monday, April 20, 2026. These events are organized with the help and support of the Office of Undergraduate Academics (OUA), the Student Government Association (SGA), and the Commuter Student Union (CSU).
