The Office of Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Research works to foster an environment of discovery and scholarship for all undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Interdisciplinary graduate programs and research provide unique opportunities for students and faculty to address complex research issues of critical importance.
The office also houses the Academy for the Environment which serves as a hub of interdisciplinary research for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty, with a focus on the environment and issues of sustainability. Through the University’s Sustainability Committee, the Academy for the Environment also promotes sustainable practices on campus in the areas of Energy, Transportation, Campus Life and the Curriculum.
