The Undergraduate Research Conference is looking for quality project proposals from BYU–Hawaii students of all disciplines to be presented at our annual on-campus conference on Thursday, April 4, 2024. While proposals on all topics are welcome, we are especially interested in projects that address issues of resilience, adaptability, and self-reliance. These concepts can be interpreted broadly, so we encourage you to discuss with your professors how it might apply to your field of study.
