In the tide of growing undergraduate research interest, SMU HRA was founded in 2013 as a student organization with the mission of growing research involvement and awareness on and off campus, creating a better undergraduate experience and raising the scholastic caliber of SMU. We are an interdisciplinary community of scholars, growing the span and visibility of undergraduate research and championi
ng projects that enrich the undergraduate research experience. With the surge of undergraduate opportunities on campus and afar, SMU HRA provides a centralized resource for both new and experienced student researchers to explore and pursue these opportunities. SMU HRA maintains a labs database, connecting assiduous undergraduates to faculty researchers. We produce both the SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research and SMU’s creative and literary publication, Kairos. Submissions are accepted year-round on our website. SMU HRA is the gateway to research involvement and professional development. With speaker events, faculty panels, and workshops, we enable and celebrate students’ investigation of their passions.
