Description/Abstract
One example of an enduring outcome from the Engagement in Undergraduate Research Annual Symposium is the creation of the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference (FURC), which is an annual event open to all undergraduate students in the state of Florida to present their research in a poster format. In this session, we will present FURC outcomes and survey data. Recently, the planning committee has initiated the process to form a non-profit corporation to oversee FURC and facilitate other statewide initiatives to support undergraduate research. Opportunities for involvement in this new organization, called the Florida Undergraduate Research Consortium, will be presented.
